JOHOR BARU: A family's holiday plans were abruptly ended when a 7-year-old boy tragically lost his life after falling from the 10th floor of their home in the Sungai Melana Phase 2 People's Housing Project (PPR) in Tampoi. The birthday celebration for Mohammad Adib Rizqy Mohammad Fauzi was postponed due to his father, Mohammad Fauzi Zurin, being unable to receive his salary as he works as a lorry attendant.
The mother, Norhidayah Yacob, 30, was preparing for the festivities when the unthinkable happened. She was tidying up the house when her son's friend informed her of the devastating incident. The young Standard One pupil was playing on the balcony when he fell around 5.30pm. His mother rushed to the scene and witnessed her son lying motionless on the ground floor.
Mohammad Fauzi Zurin, 31, was away at work and only learned of the tragedy afterwards. The victim's body was taken to Hospital Sultanah Aminah for a post-mortem examination.
