Supervisor killed in suspected drink-driving crash was married for 4 months
KUALA LUMPUR: A supervisor killed after being hit by a car driven by a man suspected of drink-driving on the Sultan Iskandar Highway early today had been married for just four months.
A 28-year-old man, Faris Irfan, was killed in a suspected drink-driving accident on the Sultan Iskandar Highway. The victim's father, Fazli Buyong, revealed that his son had been married for only four months, with their wedding taking place on June 13. Faris had planned to return home at noon to prepare a meal for his family after completing work.
However, his life was tragically cut short when he was struck by a car driven by a 26-year-old man with a blood alcohol level exceeding the legal limit. Faris' wife, who had accompanied him to work, was waiting in the car when the collision occurred. He learned of his son's death at 4:20am through a call from his daughter-in-law.
The funeral prayers for Faris were held at Mu adz Bin Jabal Mosque before his burial at Raudhatul Sakinah Taman Selaseh Muslim Cemetery in Batu Caves following Asar prayers. The father called for stricter penalties for drivers who cause fatal accidents while under the influence of alcohol and urged authorities to tighten laws on driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
