He was told to pick up the victim’s body and transport it to Setiu Hospital in Terengganu.
However, when he arrived at the location, he was filled with dread after spotting the motorcycle that had been involved in the accident, which belonged to his 21-year-old son, Muhammad Aiman.
His son was involved in a car accident with a lorry at around 4:30 PM, “That was the first time in my 21-years as an ambulance driver that I had encountered a situation involving a family member. Only God knows how sad I was at the time.”
He also mentioned that his son had only started his job five months ago.
“My son was buried at the Felda Belara Muslim cemetery at 11:30 AM,” he said.

The Setiu police chief Deputy Superintendent Afandi Hussin said Aiman died at the scene of the crash, from the injuries he sustained on his head.
Afandi added that the victim was on his way home in Sungai Tong from Kuala Nerus when the accident happened.
This is heartbreaking! Our condolences go out to Taqwa and his wife for the loss of their son!
