General : Parit Yaani Crash: Johor Govt To Bear  medical Costs,  provide Monthly Aid To Orphaned Siblings

Batu Pahat, November 15 — The Johor government, via the Johor State Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ), will bear the medical expenses, including plastic surgery, for the two orphaned siblings who survived a crash on November 1 near Parit Yaani. State Islamic Religious Affairs Committee chairman Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid announced the support, which would also entail a monthly allowance, as the children were orphaned by the accident.

The eldest, Hasya Fahira Zulkifli, 11, required readmission to the hospital and was due to receive plastic surgery on her leg, while her younger brother, Muhammad Adam Mohd Hardi, 8, could walk but needed additional treatments. MAINJ's financial aid would persist until the survivors received Survivors' Pension benefits from the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO), as their father had contributed.

The state government would continue to track the siblings' progress. Besides MAINJ, the Social Welfare Department (JKM) was also aiding the orphans, according to Mohd Fared, who visited Hasya Fahira at Sultanah Nora Ismail Hospital on the occasion of her 11th birthday. The father and mother of the siblings, Tengku Syafirana Tengku Abdullah, 44, and Mohd Hardi Mohd Husin, 46, were killed when their multi-purpose vehicle was crushed by a tar-laden lorry following a tyre blowout.

The incident occurred around 12.30pm, with Mohd Hardi suffering severe head and hand injuries, as well as burns, and Tengku Syafirana experiencing significant head and internal injuries, along with burns.
