"I asked him why he didn't want to buy Raya clothes, and he just said he didn't feel like celebrating and wanted to stay home.
"I never thought that was a sign he was leaving us forever," he told reporters at the Maqbarah Salimah Muslim Cemetery in Taman Zaitun Indah, Sikamat early Tuesday (March 11) morning.
Aisar Azim was pronounced dead at 7.23pm Monday (March 10) while receiving treatment at the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital since March 6.

Meanwhile, his mother, Nurha'afza Salwa Hazizan, 41, said the third of 10 siblings had always been excited about Syawal and loved wearing matching outfits with the family.
"I accept this as fate. We have prepared ourselves after doctors informed us that his oxygen level had dropped to 38% and his brain was no longer functioning.
"We recited the Surah Yasin, forgave him, and watched him go peacefully, as if he were asleep," she said.
