GEORGE TOWN - The mother of Muhammad Luth Syauqi Nur Sufyan, the second victim who died today after eating poisoned snacks, related that she noticed her son had shed tears last night.
Nurain Hasnorizal, 25, said her youngest son, aged two, was otherwise unresponsive while receiving treatment at Penang Hospital’s paediatric intensive care unit.
"The doctor treating him had informed us to be ready for any possibility as he was unresponsive since Wednesday and that there was no brain activity.
"Before the doctor took him off life support, I managed to whisper in his ear and tell him that I would be okay if he went and followed his brother to play over there.
"I told him that both of them were close during their time here, so it’s okay to go together, that his older brother was waiting to play with him there,” she told reporters at the forensics department of the hospital here.
While acknowledging her sorrow at losing two sons in two days, Nurain said she should try to remain strong to carry on living and was grateful for her family who have been by her side throughout her ordeal.
She also shared that her youngest son’s body would be prepared for burial at the hospital’s forensics department before being brought back and buried next to his older brother at the Kampung Banggol Berangan Muslim Cemetery.
Muhammad Luth Syauqi died at 1.24pm today, two days after his older brother Muhammad Akil Syauqi, aged three, died at 8.40am on Wednesday.
Both of them fell critically ill from consuming poisoned snacks, believed to have been placed on a fence by an orchard owner to trap monkeys at Kampung Padang Ubi, Labu Besar, Kulim in Kedah. - BERNAMA
