She shared a moment where she jokingly told him to rest with them, unaware that his words would foreshadow his permanent rest.

Wani go home, lots of work. I want to rest, I'm tired.

All four occupants were killed instantly. The couple's twin child survived the horrific accident but sustained serious injuries and is currently receiving medical attention at Bentong Hospital.

Hashim described Radzi as a committed and approachable young leader. She noted that he showed no unusual behavior during the convoy, actively participating in activities with other participants before the group separated. The news of the accident reached her later that afternoon, leaving her and others in shock.

If you want to rest, rest with us. At that time, I never suspected those words would be a sign that he was truly 'resting' forever.
