A SINGAPOREAN family's trip to Malaysia for a happy occasion - a relative's wedding - ended in a tragic accident that claimed four lives.
A 62-year-old woman, Madam Aminah Adom, 62, died on the spot.
Her husband, Haji Mohd Yasin Husin, 75, who was driving, and their Indonesian maid, Ms Suriati, 30, died in Kemaman Hospital, Terengganu.
His granddaughter, Nor Istiharah, 12, died while being transferred from Kemaman Hospital to Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan, Pahang.
The only survivor was Nor Istiharah's 17-year-old brother, Taufik Hidayat.
Mr Mohd Yasin's son and nephew told The New Paper that he was used to long drives and often went on road trips to Malaysia with his family.
But at Kemaman, about 100km from their destination of Kuala Terengganu in the north-east state of Terengganu, his car skidded and hit a barrier at the side of the road.
As the car spun, an oncoming vehicle smashed into it.
