Six Dead in Kedah Family Road Tragedy; Five Buried Together

A tragic road accident in Kedah, Malaysia, claimed the lives of six people, including five members of a single family. The victims were traveling in a Proton X50 SUV when it collided head-on with a truck carrying soil. The devastating crash occurred in Kampung Baru Pinang Tunggal.

The family, identified as Ahmad Shafiq Ahmad Shukri, 29, his wife Jamaliah Sannusi, 29, and their two-month-old son Ahmad Mikail, were on their way to Merbok to visit the grave of Ahmad Shafiq's father, Ahmad Shukri Osman, who passed away in February 2024. Also killed in the same vehicle were Ahmad Shafiq's mother, Nora Mhd. Husin, 55, and his younger brother, Ahmad Fahim, 21. They were buried together in a single grave at the Tanah Perkuburan Masjid Al Abidi in Merbok on the morning of June 8, 2026.

A sixth victim, 7-year-old Iskandar Affan Ibrahim, a nephew of Ahmad Shafiq, was buried separately in Penaga, Penang. Another child from the family, 3-year-old Aulia Sofea, sustained severe injuries and remains hospitalized. The family had reportedly just acquired the new car for Ahmad Fahim the day before the accident. The SUV was extensively damaged in the collision with the truck, which was traveling in the opposite lane.
