NST

TAMPIN: The mother of a set of toddler triplets – two of whom were killed in a car accident at Km3.8 of the Tampin-Gemas road on Saturday – succumbed to her injuries at the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital (HTJ), Seremban, at about 1.40pm today.

Tampin district police chief, Supt Hamazah Abdul Razak, said Wan Suhana Wan Abdul Latif, 33, died after two days of receiving treatment at the hospital.

"Wan Suhana, who suffered serious internal injuries and on her legs, died in the Intensive Care Unit at HTJ. With her death, the 3.20pm accident has now claimed five lives," he told reporters here today.

Hamazah said another injured victim, Wan Suhana's sister-in-law, Nursyuhaidah Jusoh, 23, is still receiving treatment at the hospital, while the only surviving toddler (of the set of triplets), Muhammad Fahimi, one, was allowed to be brought home to Kampung Batu 4, Binjai, Kemaman.

Last Saturday, Wan Suhana's husband, Mohd Fadzil Jusoh, 37, and her mother-in-law, Nazipah Chik, 60, were killed at the scene; and two of her triplets, Muhammad Farhan and Nur Farhana, died at hospital, after the Proton Saga driven by Mohd Fadzil skidded and collided head-on with a Proton Persona coming from the opposite direction.

The family had been headed here from Kemaman, Terengganu.

Mohd Fadzil's brother, Mohd Syukri Jusoh, 33, expressed his deep sadness over the tragedy that befell his brother's family.

He said he visited Wan Suhana and Nursyuhaidah at the hospital on Sunday after the funeral of his brother, mother, nephew and niece.

"We are really sad. My late brother and his wife were trying to have a baby for more than 10 years and finally, last year, they had triplets…. but God loves them more.

"Our family will raise Muhammad Fahimi now, as he is very close to us," said Mohd Syukri, adding that Wan Suhana is expected to be buried in Kampung Serating, Marang, today. - Bernama
