'Mummy, it hurts!': Final words of woman in fatal container accident

KUALA LUMPUR: In her final moments, 21-year-old Lee Zi Rou made one last phone call to her mother.

"Mummy, it hurts!" were her final words as she succumbed to a tragic accident yesterday.

According to China Press, Madam Lee recounted her daughter's dying words to the media during the wake earlier today.

She received this final call from her daughter at 9.24am the previous day. Her daughter's only words were, "Mummy, it hurts so much," followed by a cry, after which the line went silent.

"I tried asking where she was, but there was no response. In my heart, I knew something terrible had happened," she said.

The mother said that when she received the call, she was near the traffic lights in Kota Permai. After the call was abruptly cut off, she tried calling her daughter back but received no answer. She retraced her daughter's usual route to work in a desperate attempt to find her.

Eventually, she arrived at the scene of the accident, where her daughter had been tragically crushed under a fallen container.

"I decided to search along her usual route to work, calling her phone over and over. Finally, a man answered the call and informed me of her location and that she was trapped under a container," Lee said.

Upon learning her daughter's location, she rushed to the scene. But by the time she arrived, her daughter had already passed away.

"I saw her in the car, and I kept pleading for someone to save my daughter. But the container wouldn't even budge," she said.

Her daughter's final words continue to echo in Lee's mind, making it impossible for her to find peace.

"Every moment, I still hear my daughter's last words. For a moment, I truly believed she could be saved since she managed to contact me," she said.

Zi Rou, the second eldest among her siblings, leaves behind an older sister and two younger sisters.

In the accident, a container fell off a trailer and crushed several vehicles, claiming Zi Rou's life and injuring a man on Jalan Bukit Tengah yesterday morning.
