KOTA BARU: A tahfiz school founder, a driver, and a van company were ordered by the Sessions Court here on Sunday (Sept 23) to pay RM4.3mil in compensation to an accident victim.
Former tahfiz student Muhammad Faiz Hafizuddin Mohd Izahir (pic), 18, who was left permanently disabled following a road accident last year, had sued the school management for negligence.
The court had ordered the three defendants, namely Maahad Tahfiz Al-Hashimi founder Datuk Adnan Hashim, van driver Muhammad Hamzi Mohammad Husham, and van company Ct-one Corporation Sdn Bhd to pay the multi-million ringgit compensation.
Judge Nazri Ismail said the compensation would cover long-term medication cost, as the plaintiff sustained head and spinal cord injuries.
Lawyers from Tengku Azlina, Azlan Shah and Azman law firm represented the defendants.
The court found that the three defendants were "100% responsible" for the negligence, and therefore they should pay the compensation.
In the June 2 incident last year, seven tahfiz students died and five others were injured when the van they were travelling in skidded and crashed into a house in Kampung Telekong at KM55 Jalan Kuala Krai-Kota Bharu.It was widely reported that the van driver, who is also a tahfiz school teacher, did not possess a driving licence.
