  "account": "In Pontian, Malaysia, a tragic motorcycle-lorry collision claimed the lives of three siblings on Thursday morning. The victims, Nor Daniel Aiman Norlizan, 18, Nor Daniel Fikri, 11, and Puteri Naufa Raisha, 8, were buried together in a single grave at the Kampung Parit Haji Siraj Muslim cemetery following funeral prayers. Their father, Norlizan Khamis, 42, expressed gratitude for the support his family received during the difficult time, including assistance from schools, agencies, and local residents. The siblings were struck by the lorry when the motorcycle they were riding collided with it around 7:20am. Fikri and Naufa succumbed to their injuries at the scene, while Aiman passed away en route to Pontian Hospital. The district police chief, Superintendent Hadzrat Hussein Mion Hussain, revealed that the motorcycle had been traveling in the opposite direction of the lorry at the time of the collision. The incident will be investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which prescribes a sentence of five to ten years in prison and a fine of RM20,000 to RM50,000 for a first conviction. Tragically, the siblings' mother, Julaiha Munaji, 44, had earlier told her younger children that their school was closed due to the haze; however, Fikri and Naufa insisted on attending school, which their elder brother confirmed was indeed closed.",
