BATU PAHAT: "Kakak sayang emak, ayah" (I love you, mummy and daddy) were the heartbreaking final words of an 11-year-old girl as she kissed the bodies of her parents, who were killed when a tar-laden lorry overturned onto their MPV yesterday.

Hasya Fahira Zulkifli broke down as she bade farewell to her parents, Tengku Syafirana Tengku Abdullah, 44, and Mohd Hardi Mohd Husin, 46, at the forensic department of Sultanah Nora Ismail Hospital (HSNI).

Her words brought family members to tears as they gathered to pay their last respects.

The children's uncle, Muhamad Ihsan, 30, said he struggled to tell Hasya and her younger brother, Muhammad Adam, 8, that both their parents had died in the accident along Jalan Yong Peng-Muar near Parit Yaani.
