Nurul Huda shared the sad news came early in the morning. Her husband received a call around 2:44 a.m. She had briefly dozed off after dinner and woke up around 2 a.m. to browse social media for home repair ideas. Her husband initially hesitated to answer the phone, but she suggested he take the call if it was important, as the caller might have sent a WhatsApp message otherwise.

Even though he rode a Yamaha RXZ, we never heard noise from his motorcycle. He was a very good person and never bothered the neighbors.

She later heard a neighbor's car leaving around 2 a.m. and initially thought it was Al Hakim. However, she realized it was his wife leaving after receiving the tragic news.

The accident tragically claimed the lives of four RXZ motorcyclists and injured a teenage girl.

Usually, many of his friends came to fix their RXZ motorcycles at his house. A good person, God loved him more.
