Three Pontian siblings killed in motorcycle‑lorry crash after insisting on school despite haze closure

In a tragic incident in Pontian, three siblings were killed in a motorcycle accident while attempting to go to school despite it being closed due to haze.

The siblings, aged 18, 11, and 8, were convinced the school was open and wished to attend, leading their older brother to take them on a motorcycle trip that ended fatally.

Their mother, Julaiha Munaji, recounted the heartbreaking sequence of events, expressing her devastation at losing her children.

The accident involved a collision with a lorry, and all schools in Johor have been closed due to poor air quality.

PONTIAN, Oct 8 — Unconvinced that the school had been closed due to the haze today, an elder brother eventually gave in to his two younger siblings’ insistence on going to school on a motorcycle, before all three were killed in an accident at Jalan Kampung Parit Haji Siraj, Kayu Ara Pasong, here, this morning.

The victims’ mother, Julaiha Munaji, 44, said that her two children, Nor Daniel Fikri Norlizan, 11, and Puteri Naufa Raisha, eight, still wanted to go to Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Parit Sapran, despite being informed that the school had been closed due to the haze.

She said that they did not believe that the school had been closed, with one of them even reportedly pleading to go to school, while wearing their school uniform and preparing their schoolwork.

As a result, their 18-year-old brother, Nor Daniel Aiman, eventually took both siblings to school on a motorcycle before they were involved in an accident with a lorry about 200 metres from their family home.

“I was informed by villagers that my children had been involved in an accident, but at first I thought it was an ordinary accident. I then told my eldest son, Nor Daniel Irwan, 22, to go to the location.

“When Irwan returned, he was crying and told me that Fikri and Naufa had died, while Aiman was in critical condition.

“I felt as though I was going to faint when I heard the news. I could only recite istighfar, and tears streamed down my face without me realising it,” she told Bernama at her home in Kampung Parit Haji Siraj, here, today.

Julaiha said that a day before the incident, Nor Daniel Fikri, her fifth child, had washed his football boots, as he was due to attend football training today, in preparation for an upcoming competition in which he was to represent his school.

She added that her son was very passionate about football and aspired to go further in the sport.

“He did not want to miss the training and had already put on his sports attire this morning. Aiman, meanwhile, was supposed to further his studies at GiatMARA, but his plans did not materialise, as he died while on the way to the hospital,” she said.

Earlier, Pontian police chief Supt Hadzrat Hussein Mion Hussain, in a statement, said that the accident, which occurred at about 7.20am, involved a Honda motorcycle ridden by an 18-year-old man with two pillion riders, aged 11 and eight, and a Hino lorry.

He said the motorcycle was travelling from Jalan Parit Haji Omar towards Kayu Ara Pasong, before it was believed to have collided with the lorry travelling in the opposite direction, with the two pillion riders pronounced dead at the scene, while the motorcycle rider died on the way to Pontian Hospital.

All schools in Johor have been closed for two days, from today, following the deterioration in air quality in the state, affecting more than 1,000 schools and about 600,000 students. — Bernama

在笨珍发生的一起悲惨事件中，三兄妹在试图去上学的途中遭遇摩托车事故身亡，尽管学校因雾霾而关闭。

这三兄妹分别18岁、11岁和8岁，他们坚信学校已经开学，并希望入学，于是他们的哥哥骑摩托车带他们去上学，结果却酿成了悲剧。

他们的母亲朱莱哈·穆纳吉讲述了这令人心碎的事件经过，表达了失去孩子的悲痛欲绝。

事故涉及与一辆货车相撞，由于空气质量恶劣，柔佛州所有学校均已关闭。

笨珍，10 月 8 日讯——今天上午，笨珍一名哥哥不相信学校会因为雾霾而停课，最终还是满足了两个弟弟妹妹骑摩托车上学的坚持，结果三人在这起事故中丧生。事故地点位于笨珍卡尤阿拉帕松甘榜巴里哈吉西拉路。

受害者的母亲，44岁的朱莱哈·穆纳吉说，她的两个孩子，11岁的诺尔·丹尼尔·菲克里·诺利赞和8岁的普特里·瑙法·莱莎，尽管被告知学校因雾霾而关闭，仍然想去帕里特·萨普兰国民小学（SK Parit Sapran）。

她说，他们不相信学校已经关闭，据说其中一人甚至穿着校服，一边准备作业一边恳求去上学。

因此，他们 18 岁的哥哥诺尔·丹尼尔·艾曼最终骑着摩托车送两个兄弟姐妹去上学，结果在离家约 200 米的地方与一辆卡车发生了交通事故。

“村民告诉我，我的孩子出了事故，但起初我以为只是一起普通的意外。然后我让我的大儿子，22岁的诺尔·丹尼尔·伊尔万去现场。”

“伊尔万回来时，他哭着告诉我，菲克里和瑙法已经去世了，而艾曼的情况危急。

“听到这个消息时，我感觉自己快要晕倒了。我只能默念忏悔词，眼泪不知不觉地流了下来，”她今天在位于甘榜巴里哈吉西拉吉的家中告诉马新社。

朱莱哈说，事发前一天，她的第五个孩子诺尔·丹尼尔·菲克里洗了他的足球鞋，因为他今天要去参加足球训练，为即将代表学校参加的比赛做准备。

她补充说，她的儿子非常热爱足球，并渴望在这项运动中走得更远。

“他不想错过训练，今天早上就已经穿好了运动服。与此同时，艾曼原本应该在吉亚特玛拉大学继续深造，但他的计划未能实现，因为他在去医院的路上去世了，”她说。

早些时候，笨珍警察局长哈兹拉特·侯赛因·米翁·侯赛因警监在一份声明中表示，这起事故发生在早上 7 点 20 分左右，涉及一辆由一名 18 岁男子驾驶的本田摩托车，车上载有两名分别为 11 岁和 8 岁的乘客，以及一辆日野卡车。

他说，这辆摩托车当时正从 Jalan Parit Haji Omar 驶往 Kayu Ara Pasong，据信与一辆迎面驶来的卡车相撞，两名后座乘客当场死亡，而摩托车驾驶员在送往笨珍医院的途中死亡。
