Family of three killed in crash demands full investigation

A family of three was tragically killed in Kuala Lumpur after their car was struck by an Immigration Department lorry at a traffic light intersection early Tuesday morning. The victims, identified as Shaik Mohd. Firdaus, 53, and his two daughters, Siti Nor Sazlin, 25, and Siti Darwisyah Auni, 12, were killed instantly. Firdaus's wife, Norhayati Razali, 55, was also injured and is currently in stable condition in the ICU.

The family's relatives are demanding a full and thorough investigation to ensure justice. Shaik Mohd. Firdaus's brother-in-law, Mohd. Nadzri Razali, expressed the family's desire for clarity regarding the circumstances, particularly the traffic light signals at the time of the collision. He stated, "I ask for justice for the deceased and my brother and their two children who perished."

“

If possible, I want a full investigation because I heard that at the time of the incident, the traffic light was red and the Immigration Department vehicle crossed.

Initial police investigations and CCTV footage suggest the family was in a safe area to cross the road. The footage shows them at the road divider at the Jalan Sultan Ismail intersection around 1 a.m. The Immigration Department lorry, with its beacon lights on, was reportedly entering Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman while the traffic light was still red. Simultaneously, a Proton Saga, driven by a 50-year-old man, was proceeding straight through the intersection on a green light.

Authorities believe the Proton Saga driver could not avoid the collision with the Immigration lorry, which then hit the four pedestrians. Both the lorry driver and the Proton Saga driver have been remanded for one day to assist investigations under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. The Immigration Department has stated it will conduct an internal investigation into the adherence of standard operating procedures (SOP) and vehicle safety during operations.
