In a tragic turn of events, 2 siblings lost their lives while travelling to visit their late dad’s grave in Melaka on September 23rd (Monday) at 6:15 PM.
18-year-old Muhammad Amirul Hazlin and his 5-year-old sister, Nur Afiqah Sofea, were riding a motorcycle with their mom following closely behind on a different motorcycle as they headed to visit the grave of their late dad, who had sadly passed away just 10 months earlier.

Assistant Commissioner Christopher Patit, the Chief of Melaka Tengah District Police, revealed that upon arriving at the scene, the victim, who was the motorcyclist involved, apparently did not notice a Roro garbage bin on the roadside before crashing into it.
