GUA MUSANG, June 2 — A couple killed in a tragic crash at Km43, Jalan Gua Musang-Lojing, were eagerly awaiting the birth of their twins after a nine-year wait.
The victims were identified as Ridwan Effendy Yusof, 43, and Suhana Khairudin, 37.
Suhana’s eldest sister Suhaily, 49, said her sister was six months pregnant and due in September.
She said Suhana had just undergone a procedure to transfer amniotic fluid for one foetus at Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital in Ipoh, Perak.
“She (Suhana) was given permission to go home after the procedure yesterday afternoon, and the couple left Ipoh but planned to spend the night at a hotel in Cameron Highlands,” she told reporters at the Forensic Unit of Gua Musang Hospital here today.
Meanwhile, Suhana’s relative Hakiah Nor, 61, said Suhana had informed her the couple had to sleep in their car since hotels were fully booked in Cameron Highlands, before continuing their journey to Kota Bharu this morning.
“I suggested they come to Kuala Lumpur and use the Karak Highway to come home, but they refused and continued their journey on Jalan Lojing,” she said.
