KEPALA BATAS: From having only a slim chance of survival, three-year-old Aulia Sofea Ahmad Shafiq, the sole survivor of last month’s fatal SUV-lorry crash in Pinang Tunggal, is now recovering better than expected.

Initially given only a 50-50 chance of survival, Aulia has made a remarkable recovery under the care of her aunt, Siti Nur Atiqah Ahmad Shukri, 32.
