Victim's wife says daughter cries in her sleep following FRU truck tragedy
IPOH: The wife of Sergeant Mohd Roslan Abd Rahim, one of nine Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel killed in an accident on May 13, said their six-year-old daughter cries in her sleep every night following the tragedy.
Nur Aini Samiun, 44, said their children, Muhd Raqin Najmi, 13, Muhd Rizqi Nazhan, 9, and Nur Aqeela Rawida, had a close relationship with their father.
'I would take care of the children while my late husband handled the finances. Now that he's gone, I have to take on all those responsibilities,' she said when met at her home in Taman Kinding Raya, Tanjung Rambutan, during Ziarah Kasih, the National Higher Education Fund Corporation's (PTPTN) outreach programme, today.
Nur Aini said Mohd Roslan was well-liked and did not hesitate to take leave from work to care for his ailing parents until both of them passed away.
Earlier, PTPTN chairman Datuk Seri Norliza Abdul Rahim said the three children are eligible to receive benefits totalling RM193,000 through the National Education Savings Scheme (Simpan SSPN), contributed under the Simpan SSPN Prime and Simpan SSPN Plus products.
Nur Aini said her husband was always mindful of the future, diligently setting aside savings for their children.
'...we don't have a high income or many assets, and I am unemployed, savings like this (SSPN) can help support us in the future,' she added.
In the 8.50 am accident, the FRU truck collided with a stone-laden lorry along Jalan Chikus–Sungai Lampam, also injuring nine personnel.

JPJ opens probe paper on lorry company in fatal FRU crash
Nine FRU members were killed and nine others injured in the crash between their truck and a lorry in Teluk Intan, Perak, on May 12. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The road transport department (JPJ) has opened an investigation paper on the lorry company involved in the accident that took the lives of nine Federal Reserve Unit personnel in Teluk Intan, Perak last month. JPJ senior director (enforcement) Kifli Ma Hassan said the investigation was being conducted under Section 57 of the Land Public Transport Act 2010, relating to operator licence conditions. 'JPJ has seized the lorry involved, and the investigating officer has been instructed to complete the investigation paper by the end of this month. 'Once completed, the investigation paper will be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor for further action,' Bernama quoted him as saying. Klifli said the initial investigation found that the lorry company had violated its permit conditions. 'The lorry company was found to have violated the permit conditions by carrying an unauthorised load, namely rocks, while the approved permit was to transport coal. 'We are still investigating the case and appropriate action will be taken,' he said. On May 12, a lorry collided with a truck carrying 18 FRU members on Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampan in Teluk Intan, while they were on their way back to Ipoh.

NFA in Teoh Beng Hock case: DAP seeks clarification from A-G
KUALA LUMPUR: DAP has called on Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar to provide a detailed explanation for his decision not to pursue criminal charges in the case involving the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock. In a joint statement issued by DAP national chairman Gobind Singh Deo and secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook, the party expressed disappointment over the Attorney-General's decision to classify the case as "no further action" (NFA), despite previous court rulings that pointed to foul play. "The Attorney-General must explain why he believes there is insufficient evidence to prosecute anyone for Teoh Beng Hock's death, especially in light of the findings of the Court of Appeal and civil proceedings," the statement read. According to DAP, the case was referred to the Attorney-General by police on May 21 and was subsequently classified as NFA. A letter dated May 30 was later sent to the family's legal representatives, stating that the investigations did not uncover sufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution. Teoh, who was a political aide to a Selangor state executive councillor, died in 2009 while in the custody of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). "DAP has been consistently calling for accountability in the case. "The party previously assembled a legal team that initiated an inquest into Teoh's death, which revealed bruising on his neck. "However, the 2011 Coroner's Court returned an open verdict." Subsequent legal challenges saw the Court of Appeal overturn the Coroner's decision, concluding in 2014 that Teoh's death resulted from "an unlawful act or acts of persons unknown, inclusive of MACC officers who were involved in the arrest and investigation." In a related civil suit, the government and MACC admitted liability for negligence, resulting in a RM600,000 settlement to Teoh's family, along with RM60,000 in costs. "These court decisions form a solid basis for further investigation to identify those responsible for Teoh Beng Hock's death. "Whilst the duty to investigate the case and to identify those responsible lies with the police, it is for the Attorney-General to decide his next step based on that investigation," the statement added. The party also voiced its support for the family's reported move to challenge the NFA decision via a judicial review. "We call upon the Attorney-General to reconsider his decision and move forward with pressing charges against those responsible, without further delay."

DAP urges AG to explain NFA decision on Teoh Beng Hock case
Published on: Sunday, June 08, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jun 08, 2025 By: FMT Reporters Text Size: Gobind (right) and Loke. - Filepic by Yusof Mat Isa | Malay Mail PETALING JAYA: DAP has called on Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar to explain in detail why he thinks there is insufficient evidence to prosecute anyone for criminal offences involving the death of former political aide Teoh Beng Hock. In a joint statement today, DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo and secretary-general Loke Siew Fook also urged Dusuki to review the decision by the Attorney-General's Chambers to classify the investigation into Teoh's 2009 death as requiring no further action, or NFA. Advertisement 'The attorney-general, and no one else, has the discretion to prosecute under the Federal Constitution,' they said. 'He must explain why he is unable to do so in this case, particularly in light of the decisions of the Court of Appeal and civil proceedings in the High Court.' Gobind and Loke said DAP has been consistent in its call for action to be taken against those responsible for Teoh's death. The statement follows a letter dated May 30 from Dusuki to the family's legal representative, Ramkarpal Singh, seeking to explain the AGC's rationale for classifying the case as NFA. Advertisement In the letter, Dusuki said there was 'insufficient evidence' to support a criminal prosecution. Teoh died on July 16, 2009 at the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam after being questioned for hours by the Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission headquarters. Last month, police informed Teoh's family that their latest investigation into the case had been classified by the AGC as NFA. On Nov 21 last year, the High Court directed the police to complete their long-delayed investigation into Teoh's death. At an inquest, the coroner returned an open verdict. However, the Court of Appeal ruled in 2014 that the death was caused by 'one or more persons unknown', including MACC officers. In 2019, police launched an investigation under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement. Before 2018, two special investigation teams had been set up – one in 2011 and the other in 2015 – to look into the incident, but both cases were classified as NFA by the public prosecutor. Gobind and Loke noted that DAP assisted Teoh's family in a civil suit which resulted in the government and the MACC admitting liability for negligence leading to Teoh's death. An award of RM600,000 was made to the family, with costs of RM60,000. They said both the findings of the Court of Appeal and the civil court provided a basis for the police to conduct further investigations into the search for the perpetrators behind Teoh's death. 'While the duty to investigate the case and to identify those responsible in this case is with the police, it is for the attorney-general to decide his next step based on the police's investigations,' they said. Noting that Teoh's family is considering challenging the NFA in court by way of judicial review, Gobind and Loke said they support the action. 'We also call upon the attorney-general to review his decision and push ahead with charges against those responsible for Teoh Beng Hock's death without further delay,' their joint statement added. - FMT * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
