Mazlan, along with the emergency personnel, quickly got to work and started performing several breathing aid tests in order to revive his son – but it was just too late. According to the Star, Mazlan’s son was only 23 years old and had been out fishing with his younger brother near a beach at Pasir Panjang, Pulau Betong.

The poor father proceeded to drive his son’s lifeless body back to Balik Pulau Hospital. A post-mortem was conducted to identify the specifics on the cause of death, which has since been classified under sudden death.

Mazlan who, as an ambulance driver, attends to those in urgent need of medical help daily. Sadly, he couldn’t do the same for his son as he had to experience the death of Husaini in front of his eyes, knowing that there was nothing more he could’ve done.

RIP Husaini.
