Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today presented a donation of RM20,000 to families of the two victims who were involved in a fatal crash at Km 25 Jalan Gua Musang-Kuala Krai, on Saturday.

Umno Welfare Bureau chairperson Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim handed over the contribution when visiting the victims' houses at the Chiku 2 Felda settlement and Kampung Panggong Lalat, Gua Musang today.

At the Chiku 2 Felda settlement, Abdul Azeez handed over RM10,000 to Yasin Husin, 60, father of Noor Azila Yasin, 27, while at the Kampung Panggong Lalat, the donation was presented to Adzudin Sulaiman, the father of the injured victim Mohd Hafiz Adzudin, 27, who is also Noor Azila's husband.

In the 10am incident, six members of a family, including three children were killed when the car they were in collided with a lorry near Kampung Rantau Manis, Gua Musang.

The driver of the car, Nur Amira Azudin, 23, her mother Mardiah Drani, 48, sister-in-law Noor Azila Yasin, 27, and three children died at the scene.

The three children were Nor Azila's son Muhammad Hadif Haykal Muhd Hafiz, 18 months, and twins Siti Badrishah Ab Rahman and Siti Noraudah, four, who are the nieces of Nur Amira.

Speaking to reporters after handing over the donations, Abdul Azeez said Noor Azila's parents, Adzudin and Mohd Hafiz had also been offered a sponsorship for a haj pilgrimage trip.

He said the Umno Welfare Bureau would also sponsor the cost of haj by proxy for all the six victims who perished in the mishap.

Meanwhile, Yasin said he was most thankful to all the leaders, including the prime minister who had shown concern, as well as for the sponsorship of the haj pilgrimage trip.

"I am deeply touched by the concern of all parties and of course my wife and I have long been planning to perform haj and I am grateful to those who have made it easier for us," he said.

Mohd Hafiz, who broke his right arm in the incident, said he accepted the fate that had befell him and his family with a willing heart and expressed his gratitude over the haj sponsorship.
