Klang: The widow of Amirul Hafiz Omar, 33, who was killed after being hit by a driver believed to be under the influence of alcohol and drugs in Klang, Selangor, yesterday, is determined to seek justice through the courts. Nor Nadia Abdul Majid, 32, expressed her intention to take legal action to defend the rights of their three young children, aged between two and nine, who have not only lost their father but also the family's main source of income.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Nor Nadia said, 'I will take action. I have to fight for justice for my children. I will sue. There must be a heavy punishment - prison is not enough. He has taken a life. I have lost my support. I only started working on Shopee two months ago to help him. Now my husband is gone, and my children are still small. I am thinking about them.' She shared these sentiments when met at her family home in Kampung Repoh, Batu Kurau.
Nor Nadia has already been contacted by lawyers offering to assist with the case. She emphasized the need for firm action against the suspect, considering the circumstances of the incident and its impact on her family. She stated, 'My husband did nothing wrong. He was on the road and not even using his phone. He was not speeding,' while holding back tears.
Working part-time as a courier, Nor Nadia shared the heartbreaking detail that her husband had been on his way to buy a Mathematics textbook for their eldest child when the crash occurred. She mentioned that he had replied to her WhatsApp message about their youngest child's needs just minutes before the fatal incident.
The victim's mother, Faridah Ahmad, 56, described her son as a kind person and recalled unusual remarks he made before the tragedy. She recounted how he had joked about 'a ship setting sail' and 'appearing on TV3' during a family gathering in Klang, remarks that seemed prophetic in hindsight given the media attention following his death.
Faridah expressed her gratitude for having spent time with her son during the Aidilfitri holidays at his home in Shah Alam. She said, 'I was shocked when my daughter-in-law called me crying and said, 'Mirul is gone.' We were stunned. We met during Hari Raya and family gatherings. He greeted and embraced everyone. I did not expect he would leave us so soon, but I am grateful I had time with him.' Amirul was laid to rest at the Kampung Repuh Muslim cemetery at about midnight.
Earlier reports indicate that a man, believed to have been driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, causing the death of Amirul along Jalan Raya Barat in Klang, was remanded for four days.
