In the 11pm crash, Aneez Irdiena and Nur Irdina died at the scene after a Perodua Bezza crashed into their Yamaha Ego Avantiz motorcycle at a traffic light junction.
The driver was arrested after drugs were found in his car.
Meanwhile, Nur Irdina Shaffiya's mother, Yusnani Mohamad Yusof, 46, said she was heartbroken that her daughter never got to enjoy her favourite dish: ikan patin (silver catfish).
She said her daughter had been working as a sales promoter in Temerloh while waiting to further her studies.
Aneez was buried at the Felda Bukit Damar Muslim burial ground, while Nur Irdina was buried in Kampung Tualang, Temerloh.
