Teluk Intan: The wife of Corporal Haslizal Mohd Ali, one of the victims injured in the crash that claimed the lives of nine of his colleagues in Teluk Intan on Tuesday, has made an emotional plea to the public to pray for his recovery. Siti Rafidah Kamis, 43, a teacher, said her husband who sustains injuries to his ribs and experiences lung complications is still unconscious in Teluk Intan Hospital intensive care unit.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Siti Rafidah expressed her distress by stating, ‘My husband had to be sedated. I’m in agony (over the situation), but I was told it’s the best option for now to prevent him from feeling pain.’ She urged the public for prayers, hoping for her husband’s quick recovery. Their family is deeply missing him and longs for his return.

Siti Rafidah explained that the impact of the collision caused rib fractures that pierced her husband’s lungs, leading to internal bleeding. The accident occurred at 8.50 am when the FRU truck collided with a stone-laden lorry along Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampam, injuring nine other personnel.

Among the critically injured are Sergeant Mazlan Mat, 50, and Corporal Mohd Izwan Ishak, 39, both of whom remain unconscious in the hospital ICU. Corporal Mohammad Zulnaidi Muhammad Zullkifli, 34; Lance Corporal Muhammad Aniq Taufiq Rozi, 26; Corporal Mohd Harrisul Ikhsan Mohd Mahabudin, 39; and Sergeant Mohd Parih Ali, 44, are also receiving treatment at the same hospital.

Nor Diyana Nor Mohamad, the wife of Corporal Mohd Izwan, shared details of her husband’s severe injuries, including internal bleeding, abdominal trauma, kidney injuries, and multiple broken bones. She mentioned that doctors performed a tube thoracostomy to drain blood from his lungs.

Nor Diyana recounted that Mohd Izwan had participated in a running event at Pantai Remis last Sunday but complained of dizziness shortly after returning home. He described feeling as if he had been shaken inside a boxy car, which she initially attributed to a lack of sleep. Reflecting on it, she wonders if it was a sign of an underlying issue. She remains hopeful for her husband’s recovery and return to health.
