MARA supports Putri Qisya's education after family tragedy
JITRA: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) will closely monitor the well-being and academic progress of Putri Qisya Nur Izzat, the 12-year-old girl who lost her parents and siblings in a recent drowning incident. The agency has taken her under its care as a foster child, committing to support her education until university level. MARA chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki stated that the agency will provide additional academic assistance to help Putri Qisya maintain her performance in school and prepare for the MARA Junior Science College (MRSM) entrance examination. 'We will arrange special tuition and guide her in achieving her dream of studying at MRSM. Our support starts immediately,' he said during a press conference after officiating the 2025 UMNO Kubang Pasu Division Delegates' Meeting. MARA has also directed its Kedah office to coordinate with Sekolah Kebangsaan Seberang Perak Baru, where Putri Qisya is currently enrolled, to ensure her studies remain uninterrupted. 'Losing her parents is devastating for a child her age. We want her to stay focused and honor her late parents' aspirations,' Asyraf added. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi recently announced MARA's commitment to support Putri Qisya until she completes higher education. The young girl had previously expressed her wish to attend MRSM, fulfilling her parents' hopes for her future. The tragedy claimed the lives of her parents, Mohamad Azim Izat Ishak, 32, and Nurul Hidayah Khadijah Razman Efendi, 31, along with her four siblings—Putra Rayyan Nur Izzat, 9, Hawa Adriana Nur Izzat, 8, Annayla Humaira Nur Izzat, 7, and Tuah Haydar, six months. - Bernama

"I had a dream about them" — daughter dreamt of family before bodies found
ALOR STAR: Hours before the bodies of her parents and siblings were found, 12-year-old Putri Qisya Nur Izzat had a dream — one that now haunts her. In the dream, she said, her father, Mohamad Azim Izat Ishak, appeared to her and reassured her with a message she will never forget. "Don't be afraid, we will look after you from a distance. Many will care for you," he said. "When I woke up, I was in shock," she said quietly, seated beside her aunt at the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital's Forensics Department today. The dream soon became a painful reality. Her father, 32; mother Nurul Hidayah Khadijah Razman Efendi, 31; and four younger siblings — Putra Rayyan Nur, 9; Hawa Adriana Nur, 8; Annayla Humaira Nur, 7; and six-month-old Tuah Haydar — were all found dead, their bodies huddled together at the back of a car submerged in Sungai Korok, Jitra. The family had been reported missing since Saturday. They were last seen visiting relatives in Taman Aman, Jitra on Friday evening. The tragedy is believed to have occurred as they were making their way home to Jerlun. Qisya, the eldest child and now the only surviving member of her immediate family, had stayed behind that night with relatives in Jerlun. "At first, I wanted to follow them, but I felt tired. Usually, I would go along, but that night I was just a bit lazy. They let me stay at my grandmother's house in Jerlun. "When I woke up, I saw the news… they were all gone," she said. She also shared that in the days leading up to the tragedy, her siblings had been unusually close to each other. Qisya will now live with her aunt, Nur Adliah Shuhada Ishak, 26, at their home in Taman Aman. The family is expected to be laid to rest at the Muslim cemetery in Kampung Bohor Karang, Ayer Hitam, later today.
