PONTIAN, Oct 8 — Unconvinced that the school had been closed due to the haze today, an elder brother eventually gave in to his two younger siblings’ insistence on going to school on a motorcycle, before all three were killed in an accident at Jalan Kampung Parit Haji Siraj, Kayu Ara Pasong, here, this morning.
The victims’ mother, Julaiha Munaji, 44, said that her two children, Nor Daniel Fikri Norlizan, 11, and Puteri Naufa Raisha, eight, still wanted to go to Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Parit Sapran, despite being informed that the school had been closed due to the haze.
She said that they did not believe that the school had been closed, with one of them even reportedly pleading to go to school, while wearing their school uniform and preparing their schoolwork.
