Pall of gloom: Norazian holding Amira Sofea, flanked by Amirul Asyraf (left) and Amirul Firdaus (right). GOPENG: The one-year-old daughter of the late Kpl Amiruddin Zabri, one of nine Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) members killed in an accident near Teluk Intan earlier this week, is missing her father badly. His widow, Norazian Mohd Joned, 38, said Amira Sofea would cry in the middle of the night, looking for him. 'Our daughter is very attached to him, as he used to put her to sleep every night,' she said during the visit by National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) chief operating officer Mastura Mohd Khalid as part of their Ziarah Kasih programme held at her home here yesterday. 'Thank God, we recorded a lot of videos of my husband and I can play them for my children including my two boys, Amirul Firdaus, 12, and Amirul Asyraf, 11.' On May 13, a gravel-laden lorry had crashed into a FRU truck on Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampam, which was on its way back to its base in Sungai Senam in Ipoh. Apart from those who lost their lives, there were also nine other FRU personnel who sustained injuries from the accident. Norazian, who works as an administrative assistant at the Kampar police station, also said that she does not bear any grudges against the lorry driver involved in the incident. 'I forgive the lorry driver, as the incident might be 'asbab' (fated),' said Norazian, with tears streaming down her cheeks. She also recalled that Kpl Amiruddin had once spoken about the honour of dying in service. 'He once spoke about a case involving firemen who drowned while trying to save others. 'He said the firemen died honourably and the entire country had prayed for them. 'Maybe he had a similar wish in his heart,' Norazian said, adding that her life still feels surreal with her husband no longer around. Norazian also expressed her gratitude for the aid provided by PTPTN, saying it would help ease her burden in securing her children's education. 'My husband wanted one of our children to become a religious teacher and I'll work towards fulfilling it,' she said.

Wife of fallen FRU officer says she forgives lorry driver
GOPENG: The wife of the late Kpl Amiruddin Zabri, one of nine Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel who perished in an accident near Teluk Intan earlier this week, does not bear any grudges against the lorry driver involved in the incident. Norazian Mohd Joned, 38, said she does not blame the driver, believing that the incident was fated. "I forgive the lorry driver, as the incident might be 'asbab' (fated). "Maybe it was just the way it was meant to happen. It was merely the cause for his passing," said Norazian, with tears streaming down her cheeks. She said this during the visit by National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) chief operating officer Mastura Mohd Khalid as part of their Ziarah Kasih programme held at her home here on Saturday (May 18). During the 8.50am incident on May 13, a gravel-laden lorry had crashed into an FRU truck on Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampam, which was on its way back to base in Sungai Senam in Ipoh. Kpl Amiruddin was among nine FRU members who were killed in the accident, while nine others were injured. Norazian, who works as an administrative assistant at the Kampar police station, said Kpl Amiruddin had once spoken about the honour of dying in service. "He once spoke about a case involving firemen who drowned while trying to save others. "He said the firemen died honourably and the entire country had prayed for them. Maybe he had a similar wish in his heart," she said, adding that it still felt surreal with her husband being no longer around. "There was also a case recently where a man died in front of a mosque right after Friday prayers and my husband said if God has determined your time, not even a minute will be delayed. "Everything else is just the means. Maybe this lorry was just the means for the nine of them to go, it was already fated," she added. Mastura said that the late Kpl Amiruddin was a Skim Simpanan Pendidikan Nasional (SSPN) Prime depositor, having opened an account on May 7 this year. "He had sufficient savings to qualify for takaful benefits. "The family will receive RM1,000 in takaful protection and RM3,000 in death benefit, and in total RM4,000," she said. "Although no amount of money could replace a lost loved one, we hope this contribution and insurance benefit will help lessen the family's financial burden and support their children's educational future," she added.

Wife of FRU man killed in tragedy doesn't blame tipper lorry driver
GOPENG: The wife of the late Corporal Amiruddin Zabri, one of the nine Federal Reserve Unit members who died in the accident on May 13, refuses to blame the tipper lorry driver involved in the crash. Norazian Mohd Joned, 38, said her husband's death in such a manner is seen as part of God's will, adding that her late husband had once expressed admiration for those whose deaths were widely prayed for by many. She said her husband had shown such sentiments following the tragic drowning of six firemen during a search and rescue (SAR) operation for a missing teenager in a mining pool in Puchong on Oct 3, 2018. "We don't blame the lorry driver… maybe that was the only way Allah chose to take him. It was already his destined time to go. "My late husband once said during the incident involving the drowned firefighters that we should be envious of them because their deaths were prayed for by so many people, even those who didn't know them. "Maybe he prayed for a death like that... he had said (the firemen) died a good death. So perhaps in his heart, he wished for something similar," she told reporters at Amiruddin's hometown in Kampung Sungai Itek today. She was met while receiving takaful protection and funeral benefits of RM4,000 under the SSPN Prime savings scheme, presented by National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) chief operating officer Mastura Mohd Khalid. The mother of three children aged 1 to 12 said she had "spoken" to her husband's body while accompanying it in the hearse from Teluk Intan to the FRU Troop 5 headquarters in Sungai Senam, Ipoh. "I told him during the journey from the Hilir Perak police headquarters to the FRU Headquarters in Sungai Senam... 'B' (my term for him), you once said you were envious of those six firemen, but now you've had a death that the whole of Malaysia is praying for. "He also once mentioned a senior citizen who died on the way back from Friday prayers in Kampar. He said when it's Allah's time, not even a minute will be delayed — everything else is just the means," she said. Norazian, who works as an administrative assistant at the Kampar police headquarters, also shared her late husband's wish to send their eldest son, Amirul Firdaus, 12, to a tahfiz school. "He said if possible, he wanted at least one of our children to memorise the Quran to help their parents enter paradise. So, God willing, I will try to fulfil that wish," she said. A photo of Amirul Firdaus leading his father's funeral prayer had previously gone viral. Norazian said that it was actually Amirul Firdaus' own wish to lead the prayer for his beloved father. "He (Amirul Firdaus) asked to lead the funeral prayer. He said that if possible, for the last time, he wanted to be the one to lead his father's prayer," Norazian said. Speaking about their youngest daughter, Amira Sofea, Norazian said the 1-year-old seems to wait each night for her father's embrace, and can only say "bah," referring to "abah" (father). It was reported on Tuesday that an FRU truck carrying 18 personnel from Troop 5 Sungai Senam collided with a gravel-laden lorry at about 8.50am. Eight died at the scene Eight died at the scene, and a ninth passed away while receiving treatment at Teluk Intan Hospital. Nine others were injured to varying degrees. The FRU vehicle was returning to Ipoh after completing duties for the Chitra Pournami festival when it was struck by the lorry.
