Adam Mohd Suria’s mother, Nik Hasmani Mohamad, explained to the daily she was informed by the workshop organisers that her son was involved in an incident and was rushed to Hospital Tengku Anis. She was quoted as saying,
“I was informed that the bus he was on was involved in an accident but I was not told that he passed away.”
“My family and I just knew that he was not in good condition when we arrived at the hospital. My husband found out he sustained severe injuries on multiple parts of his body because he was run over by the bus.”
“Adam was active in school and wanted to continue his studies at Sekolah Menengah Sains Machang next year, which is very near our house.”
“We live in Taman Desa Bakti, Bukit Belah, Machang, and he did not want to be so far away from his family when he started secondary school.”
