The Accident That Changed Everything
BUKIT MERTAJAM: Lim Sheau Ling, 42, is demanding justice after her daughter, Lee Zi Rou, 21, was killed when a container fell from a lorry and crushed her car. The accident occurred on Jalan Bukit Tengah on Wednesday (Nov 13) at 9:30am.
Holding Those Responsible Accountable
Lim has called for legal action against both the truck driver and the company involved in the accident. “Losing my daughter is the hardest thing I’ve ever faced, but I want to ensure no other family suffers this way,” she said tearfully.
Support from Officials
Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong visited the family to convey his sympathies and announced that the Social Security Organisation (Socso) would provide assistance.
A Heartbreaking Last Call
Lee, known for her kindness and dedication, often worked part-time to support her family. Before her death, she managed to call her mother, saying, “Mummy, it hurts so much, please help me.”
Financial Aid for the Family
Minister Sim confirmed that Lee’s family would receive financial support, including RM3,000 for funeral costs and RM913.50 in monthly payments. The family will also have access to free counselling and legal services.
Remembering Lee
Lee’s cremation is set for Sunday (Nov 17) at the Berapit Crematorium. Her death has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew and loved her.
