Anwar, Wan Azizah mourn death of Melaka PKR leader in road accident
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail have extended their condolences to the family of Alor Gajah PKR branch vice-chief J. Samivel, who died in a road accident in Jasin today.
On November 11, a tragic accident occurred in Melaka during the campaign trail for the upcoming election, claiming the life of J. Samivel, a 62-year-old deputy chief of the Alor Gajah PKR division. The incident occurred when Samivel's car collided with a lorry, which was reportedly transporting fruit. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the chairman of Pakatan Harapan (PH), expressed his condolences for the loss, describing Samivel as a loyal party member who had served the struggle with dedication.
He called upon the nation to draw strength from Samivel's memory as they continue the fight for justice. The crash took place on Jalan Pondok Batang, close to the PH's main operations room for the Asahan seat. Police received the first report of the accident around 12:45 pm, and rescuers discovered Samivel trapped in the driver's seat, who was later pronounced dead by medical personnel.
Samivel's body was taken to Jasin Hospital's forensic unit for a post-mortem examination. The PH Election Department mourned the loss of a valuable contributor to the party, particularly for his tireless efforts during the state election campaign.
