SUNGAI BULOH: The body of Ku Adib Aizad Ku Azmi, one of the victims of the fatal motorcycle accident near UiTM Dungun, has arrived at Masjid An-Nur Saujana Utama for jenazah prayers.
A somber atmosphere filled the mosque as friends mourned his passing, all dressed in black Baju Melayu.
Also present at the mosque was New Straits Times Press group managing editor Datuk Ahmad Zaini Kamaruzzaman.
Ku Adib's body will be taken to his home in Saujana Utama to await the arrival of his parents, who flew in from Jeddah last night.
Ku Adib is the son of Berita Harian assistant news editor, Hafizah Iszahanid and Ku Azmi Saad, who is a staff at Print Tower Sdn Bhd (PTSB), a company under the New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd.
The accident occurred while the couple were travelling to Makkah to perform their umrah through Media Prima Bhd's 'Program Umrah dan Ziarah 2024'.
They were among 127 participants of the programme comprising staff and their family members.
Their flight departed Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 5.35pm yesterday and arrived in Jeddah at 9.15pm (local time).
Hafizah and Ku Azmi later returned to Kuala Lumpur on a 1.55am flight.
Ku Adib is expected to be laid to rest at Raudhatul A'liyah Saujana Utama Islamic Cemetery, here, after his parents' arrival.
Yesterday, three students from UiTM Dungun were killed, and another was severely injured when a Honda CRV SUV, driven by a woman, crashed into their two motorcycles at 7.20pm
The driver, a 49-year-old woman believed to be mentally ill, has been remanded for four days starting today.
