A fatal accident between a Honda and a bus took place earlier this week on 1 September, resulting in the deaths of the car driver and a 53-year-old passenger.
Netizens online were calling out the Honda driver for allegedly driving recklessly, and Facebook user Ummi FiqRiya, who claims to be the cousin of the Honda driver, appealed to the public for empathy.
Here is what she said
Dear all,
On behalf of the family, I begged you to excercise kindness and emphatty.
Please refrained from making assumptions of yesterday’s incident @ woodlands.
1) We don’t know what actually happened, unless u was there and sat with the deceased.
2) Looking at the road of the incident, there isn’t any tire brakes marks of intention to stop. Any sound mind driver would have react with an intention to emergency stop.
3) this Tragic, has caused 2 lives.. 2 dear lives. Please allow the family to grieve. Hurtful comments are honestly not helping.
4) The young driver is my cousin. Our dear cousin..
– when he was alive, Smile was his sedekah.. His smile was always there to warm anyone’s heart..
– He went Umrah with his parents few years ago. My mum was there to witness that he eases the umrah for his parents. Rendering help whenever he could.
– a very jovial and cheerful bright personality.
– did you know he has history of seizure and fits?
– did you know he celebrated his bdae on 31st of Aug 2022. A day before the incident.
Now…
He has left his wife, he left his daughter who is in pri school and a son who is still a toddler. He left his parents who mourned for his passing. They kept saying he is a good and obedient child. His brother and sister were devastated with his passing. A part of all us was taken away.
Ya Allah, sebak.
Did you know his family does everything together.
Wherever they go, they go and do things together.
They are one of a family that I looked up to. Togetherness, love, respect…
The last time I saw him was during Hari Raya at our grandma’s house. . I am thankful as I Manage to have small talks.. and for the last time, the only memories I had was his smile and bidding farewell to everyone in the house while carrying his son.
Please render emphatty… And if you could, please have him in your prayers. Sedekahkan Al fatihah. And pray for a smooth transition for today’s perurusan jenazah.
