Kuala lumpur: A mother's world fell apart this morning when she lost two of her children and two grandchildren in a crash at Jalan Utama, Felda Chiku 1 here. Shahima Hamid, 54, fainted three times at home and again at the hospital after identifying the bodies of her son Muhammad Faiz Nor Amran, 32; her daughter Nor Aina Imra, 21; and Faiz's young sons, Muhammad Aryan Fattah, 5, and Muhammad Ayden Fattah, 4.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Muhammad Faiz's wife, Tuan Norsyuhada Mohd Zain, 23, who was driving the car, suffered serious head and chest injuries after being trapped in her seat. 'My brother Faiz was very close to Mama, while Aina was our only sister among eight siblings. She was a first-year Universiti Utara Malaysia student and had just come home for her semester break,' said another son, Muhammad Fakris, 23.

The family was returning to Pasir Mas, Kelantan, from Sepang, Selangor, after attending a programme last Saturday. They were supposed to arrive home today. The remains of the four victims will be buried tonight at the Kampung Padang To'La Muslim Cemetery in Pasir Mas.
