Traumatised boy refuses to talk after tragedy


Distant gaze: Sabariah speaking to the press about the incident while Hasif sits silently on her lap at his grandmother’s house in Kampung Serdang Baru.

KUALA TERENGGANU: Every­thing is still so raw and vivid in the mind of traumatised Mohd Hasif Abdul Halim, the sole survivor of Saturday’s tragedy at a waterfall in Hulu Terengganu, which claimed the lives of five family members.

When he hears it on television or people talking about it, the nine-year-old walks away as he does not want to be reminded of the incident.
