PONTIAN, October 8 — Three siblings, all Pontians, tragically lost their lives in a motorcycle‑lorry collision after their parents insisted they attend school on a day when schools had been closed due to haze. The eldest, 18-year-old Nor Daniel Aiman, had taken his two younger siblings, 11-year-old Nor Daniel Fikri and 8-year-old Puteri Naufa Raisha, to school on a motorcycle despite being told that the school was closed.
The victims' mother, Julaiha Munaji, 44, recounted that her children initially believed there was no accident, but when they learned of their deaths, she could only recite prayers and weep. A day earlier, Nor Daniel Fikri had been prepared for a football training session, eager to represent his school in an upcoming competition.
The accident occurred around 7:20 am when a Honda motorcycle, carrying Fikri and Naufa as passengers, collided with a Hino lorry in Jalan Kampung Parit Haji Siraj, Kayu Ara Pasong. Both pillion riders and the motorcycle rider were pronounced dead at the scene, with the motorcycle rider also succumbing en route to Pontian Hospital.
All schools in Johor have been closed for two days due to deteriorating air quality affecting over 1,000 schools and approximately 600,000 students.
