  "account": "Batu Pahat, Malaysia: A 46-year-old man, Tengku Syafarin Tengku Abdullah, is experiencing a double tragedy after losing his wife and sister in separate road accidents. Earlier last year, his wife Noor Faradhillah Mohd Yusuff, 42, lost her life in a road accident. Recently, his sister Tengku Syafirana, 44, and her husband Mohd Hardi Mohd Husin, 46, were killed when a lorry carrying tar overturned onto their MPV on Jalan Yong Peng-Muar near Parit Yaani. Their two children, aged 8 and 11, sustained injuries and are receiving treatment at Sultanah Nora Ismail Hospital. The father of four, from Felda Mengkawang, Ajil, Hulu Terengganu, accepted the latest tragedy as fate but found it difficult to bear. He learned about his sister's accident through a TikTok video and later confirmed the news via his youngest sibling's WhatsApp message. Tengku Syafarin arrived at the scene from Merlimau to Batu Pahat after receiving the news. He broke down upon viewing his sister and brother-in-law for the last time at the Forensic Department of Hospital Sultanah Nora Ismail. Batu Pahat district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Shahrulanuar Mushaddat Abdullah Sani, stated that the MPV was traveling from Yong Peng towards Parit Sulong when the lorry, with a burst tyre, veered into the vehicle's path.",
