KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has channelled a contribution to the wife of Md Rizal Atan, who died after being crushed by an uprooted tree on Jalan Sultan Ismail last week.
In a Facebook post, Anwar said the aid was handed over by his political secretary Ahmad Farhan Fauzi, who visited the family yesterday.
He said Md Rizal was survived by his wife and four children aged nine to 14.
“Farhan conveyed condolences on my behalf to the deceased’s wife, who appeared calm and strong throughout the meeting, but surely only God knows the turmoil within her soul,” he said.
In the May 7 incident, Md Rizal, who has been a driver since 2018, died en route to a hotel to pick up the company’s guests.
In a separate post, Anwar said, Farhan also visited the wife of TV3 journalist Fareez Azman on his behalf.
Nurain Nazuraa Mohd Ghazali, 29, was diagnosed with thyroid storm due to hyperthyroidism.
He said Farhan also delivered a contribution on his behalf to help alleviate Nurain’s medical costs.
“The situation faced by Fareez’s wife is very concerning as her heart is affected, prompting doctors to advise her to undergo thyroidectomy,” he said, expressing prayers for her recovery.
