KAJANG: A call from a concerned relative was what spurred Mohamed Nuaidi Idris to check up on his son, Mohd Naim Fawwaz’s condition, and the subsequent discovery of his death when the Beechcraft Premier 1 he was onboard crashed near the Elmina Township, Shah Alam on Thursday (Aug 17).

Mohamed Nuaidi, 71, had earlier heard rumours that Mohd Naim, 35, was one of the victims in the crash, as he was reportedly a passenger onboard, but the call from his relative from Kuala Terengganu, who said he heard it from his child, a fellow pilot, sent chills through his spine.
