Dungun crash: Father of injured victim forgives suspect and family


DUNGUN: The father of a Dungun Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) student who was injured in an accident near the university has no plans to take legal action against the suspect's family.

Mohammad Ridhuan Mohd Sharif, 52, of Keramat, Kuala Lumpur, said as a Muslim, he believes in destiny and views the incident involving his son, Muhammad Amar Danish, 20, as a test from Allah for their family.

He and his wife have already forgiven the female suspect, who is believed to be suffering from mental health issues, as well as her family, who are also facing pressure and negative perceptions from the public following the incident.

"She (the suspect) is also unwell. I do not blame her or her family for what happened. If her family wants to come and visit us or see Amar (Muhammad Amar Danish), there are no objections,” he said when met at Dungun Hospital on Saturday (Oct 12).

Muhammad Ridhuan said that he is currently hoping and praying for his son’s speedy recovery and would be able to continue his studies as normal.

He said that Muhammad Amar Danish has been given the all-clear to be discharged from the hospital, with all arrangements for his return, including transportation, being handled by UiTM management.

"Alhamdulillah, Amar is getting better and no longer delirious like he was two nights ago. Many of his friends from Kuala Lumpur came to visit him today (Saturday).

"The doctor has approved for him to be discharged, but UiTM needs to manage the related documentation and transport. God willing, he will be able to return to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow (Sunday, Oct 13),” said Muhammad Ridhuan who works as a shop assistant. - Bernama
