Kuala lumpur: The widow of delivery rider Amirul Hafiz Omar, 33, who died after being hit by a car driven by a driver allegedly under the influence of drugs on Jalan Raya Barat, is set to file a RM1 million civil suit against the accused in August.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Lawyer Nur Iffah Hizwani Omar stated that a writ of summons and statement of claim had been prepared for Amirul's widow, Nor Nadia Abdul Majid, 32. However, the filing is pending the issuance of the Letter of Administration. The application for this letter was filed at the Kuala Lumpur High Court and is expected to be decided on July 28. This decision will precede the legal team's acquisition of documents related to the deceased's supplementary income from an e-hailing company, which are necessary to finalize the claim amount before filing the suit at the Shah Alam High Court.

Nur Iffah Hizwani Omar mentioned, "So far, I have received instructions from our client to pursue a claim amounting to RM1 million. If there are no obstacles, the writ of summons and statement of claim are expected to be filed in August," while speaking to the media at the Klang Court Complex.

Meanwhile, Nor Nadia expressed the emotional toll of assuming the roles her husband once filled after nearly four months of managing her loss. She shared, "It was only after three months that I truly felt the sadness and loss. Before that, it felt as though my husband had simply gone to work as usual. Only now do I realise the grief is becoming more overwhelming."

The grief intensifies for her whenever she sees her children, as they remind her of her late husband's dedication to his family. "Whenever I look at my children, I feel sad. I remember how hard my husband worked to raise them. He used to send them to school every morning before picking them up at noon so they could have lunch together. Rain or shine, he never failed to fetch them. Now I have taken over that responsibility," she added.

The accused, R. Saktygaanapathy, 28, was initially charged with murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code for the incident on March 29. No plea was recorded as the charge falls under the High Court's jurisdiction. However, he pleaded not guilty on June 3 to an amended charge under Section 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 for self-administering tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
