Site of fatal Kuala Krai crash known as accident hotspot
KUALA KRAI: The site of a fatal crash that claimed the lives of three family members along Jalan Kuala Krai–Gua Musang near Kampung Sungai Sam on Friday morning is said to be a frequent accident hotspot. Residents and road users claim the area is extremely dark at night due to the absence of street lighting, and that vehicles often travel at dangerously high speeds. A check at the scene revealed a signboard reminding motorists that the speed limit is 90 km per hour. There were also signboards installed several metres before the crash site, warning of a bend ahead and advising motorists to slow down. The location of the crash, which involved a Perodua Myvi and an express bus, was on a downhill curve along a no-overtaking section of the road. Observations also showed that many vehicles were travelling above the speed limit. Hisham Jusoh, 33, a regular user of the route, said the stretch is particularly dangerous at night due to the lack of street lighting and speeding vehicles. "I live in a nearby village and I'm aware this area is dangerous, so it's no surprise that accidents occur here. Many accidents have already happened in this vicinity. "You can see for yourself how fast the vehicles go, and even though there are signboards reminding drivers, they seem to have no effect," he said. Another resident, Ibrahim Juhari, 62, said it was time for the government to install street lights along the road to help prevent further accidents. "It's heartbreaking to hear about this latest incident involving three fatalities, and it happened not far from my shop. Accidents often occur on this stretch, especially at night, because it's very dark and the road is hilly. "It's dangerous even during the day, let alone at night. Vehicles speed down this road without any concern for the consequences," he said. In the 11.30am crash on Friday, the three family members killed were Mohamad Faris Kamaludin, 24, his wife Nur Atikah Najihah Mohd Shah Penilzain, 18, and her mother Nurul Ain Abdul Rahim, 39. The incident occurred when the Perodua Myvi the victims were travelling infrom Gua Musang towards Kota Baru lost control, veered into the opposite lane, and collided with an express bus. The impact left the victims trapped inside the car, and they were pronounced dead at the scene. They were reportedly travelling from Johor to Kelantan to attend the wedding of Nurul Ain's younger sibling.

Kuala Krai crash: Dad haunted by daughter's final video call
JOHOR BARU: A father recalled the heartbreaking final video call with his only daughter, made just hours before she and her husband were killed in a car crash in Kuala Krai, Kelantan. Mohd Shah Penilzain Mohamed Said, 45, said the call was the first time he had ever spoken to both his daughter and son-in-law together via video. His daughter, Nurul Atikah Najihah, 18, her husband, Muhammad Faris Kamaludin, 24, and her mother, Nurul Ain Abdul Rahim, 39, were killed when their Perodua Myvi collided with an express bus along Jalan Kuala Krai–Gua Musang in Kampung Sungai Sam, on May 30. "I made the video call before they left. She looked happy and even asked if I remembered buying her nasi kepal (rice moulded into a ball). "She told me she found cheaper ones and it reminded her of me. "I didn't know it would be the last time we spoke," he said when met at the Kassim Noor Muslim Cemetery in Kampung Sungai Danga, where the couple were laid to rest side by side today. Mohd Shah, who works in Putrajaya, said he received the tragic news at 5pm that day. He said he was on his way home from work when he got the call. "My knees buckled on the spot... it felt as though every drop of blood had been drained from my body. "I felt weak, completely hollow. "Even now, I haven't truly recovered. "But I've had to come to terms with it... I have to accept that she's gone. "I called her Najihah. "She had kept in touch via WhatsApp throughout the journey, updating me on their route and rest stops." He said the couple initially planned to use Jalan Muadzam, but they changed their route to the expressway due to poor road conditions. He said her daughter last texted him from Raub, Pahang, saying they were entering Kuala Lipis. "After that, my calls went unanswered. Then the worst news came," he said. Mohd Shah and Najihah's mother, Nurul Ain are divorced. Both have since remarried. Nurul Ain's body was claimed by her husband. Meanwhile, Muhammad Faris's father, Kamaludin Abdullah, 52, said it was his son's first time driving such a long distance. "He finished work at 11.30pm and left for Kelantan shortly after midnight. "He texted his mother that he had stopped to rest at R&R Seremban. "He was very close to her," he said, adding that Faris was the third of seven siblings and known for his warmth and humour. "The loss is beyond words. During the journey to claim the bodies, my wife fainted from grief. "But we accept this as fate," he said.
