‘Don't be sad', father tells daughter in dream following family's tragic death when Iswara sank into Kedah river

Malay Mail5 days ago
ALOR SETAR, July 7 — 'I dreamt my late father told me not to be sad,' said Putri Qisya Nur Izzat, 12, the eldest child of a family of six who perished after their car plunged into Sungai Korok in Jitra last Saturday.
Putri Qisya was the sole survivor of her immediate family, having stayed behind at her grandmother's home in Jerlun, while her parents and younger siblings travelled without her on the day of the incident.
Her parents, Muhammad Azim Izat Ishak, 32, and Nurul Hidayah Khadijah Razman Efendi, 31, along with their children, Putra Rayyan Nur Izzat, 9, Hawa Adriana Nur Izzat, 8, Annayla Humaira Nur Izzat, 7, and six-month-old Tuah Haydar, were reported missing after their vehicle veered off the road and into the river.
The bodies were recovered today, bringing a tragic end to the search.
Speaking at the Forensic Department of Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital here, Putri Qisya said the family had planned to visit an aunt in Taman Seri Aman, Jitra, as part of a regular weekend routine. However, she chose not to join them this time.
'At first, I wanted to go, but at the last minute, I felt tired and decided not to. One of my siblings even tried to persuade me, but I still said no,' she said, holding back tears.
Upon learning that her family had gone missing, she joined others in searching the area along the river, but her efforts ended in heartbreak.

Describing a dream she had early this morning, Putri Qisya said her father appeared to her wearing the same jersey he had worn the day he left.
'I was lying on his lap. He told me not to be sad because he couldn't take care of me anymore. My mother and siblings were also there in the dream,' she said.
'At around 8 am, I woke up suddenly and went to the front of the house. My grandmother and aunt tried to comfort me, saying they would look after me and that I wouldn't be alone.'
She also recalled a moment earlier this year when her youngest sibling, Jebat Haydar, died in February.
'Back then, my mother told me not to be sad because it was only my baby brother who had left, not her. She even said, 'If we are meant to go, we'll all go together so that we won't trouble anyone',' said Putri Qisya. — Bernama

Dumped, not poisoned: Tilapia deaths in Sungai Kinta linked to illegal disposal, water quality remains good

IPOH, July 12 — The thousands of dead black tilapia found in Sungai Kinta on June 30 are believed to have been dumped into the river by irresponsible parties, and not to have originated from its natural habitat. Perak Science, Environment and Green Technology Committee chairman Teh Kok Lim said an investigation conducted with the Department of Environment (DOE) and the state Fisheries Department found that the fish most likely came from a fish farm. 'The dead fish appeared uniform and were not wild river fish. We suspect they were dumped into Sungai Kinta, and did not die naturally due to pollution. 'Water quality test results carried out by the DOE showed readings within a good range, with no signs of pollution that could have caused the sudden death of aquatic life,' he told reporters after launching the Perak Fisheries Department's alien fish hunting programme at Taman DR Seenivasagam here today. Meanwhile, Perak Fisheries Department director Mohd Ghazali Manap said immediate action had been taken to remove all the dead fish from the affected area. 'This swift action was crucial to prevent secondary pollution and minimise the impact on other aquatic life,' he said, adding that further investigations are ongoing to identify the individuals or parties involved in the incident. — Bernama

Awie demands truth after being accused in Shila Amzah's alleged assault case

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 — Popular rocker Datuk Awie has expressed his frustration over being linked to a controversy. According to mStar, the incident began after singer Nurshahila Amir Amzah, better known as Shila Amzah, filed a police report claiming she was publicly assaulted by a legendary artist during a recent concert rehearsal. The report was lodged at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters on July 10. Awie, who has faced criticism from netizens accusing him of being behind the alleged attack, has called on rock singer Datuk Amy Search, whose real name is Suhaimi Abdul Rahman, to clarify the matter. "The concerned party should come forward. This is affecting people who have nothing to do with it. People are accusing me because they think I'm the bad guy. The person responsible should come out. Speak up," he told mStar on Saturday. He added that the controversy has taken a toll on him, with many people asking for clarification. He also made it clear that he would not hesitate to report anyone spreading false claims linking him to the incident.

Car driven by woman in her 80s crashes into parked vehicles and school fence near Sungai Merah bazaar in Sibu, no injuries reported

SIBU, July 12 — A car driven by an elderly woman in her 80s crashed into a school fence behind a priest's residence near the Sungai Merah bazaar early this morning. The incident, which occurred around 7am, reportedly began when the woman was reversing her vehicle near a coffee shop in the area. According to eyewitnesses, the car suddenly struck a table and several chairs in front of the shop before careening into two motorcycles parked by the roadside. The vehicle then collided with the rear of a four-wheel drive and a Perodua Kancil before coming to a halt after crashing into the fence of a primary school compound behind the priest's house. Fortunately, the driver escaped the incident unhurt. The crash caused minor damage to the fence and the vehicles involved. It was understood that the elderly woman's son later arranged for all the damaged vehicles to be sent to a workshop and had also agreed to cover all the repair costs. — The Borneo Post
