Transport Minister Anthony Loke visited the family of the late Amirul Hafiz Omar, 33, on Sunday, accompanied by Road Transport Department Director General Aedy Fadly Ramli.
He gave Amirul’s 32-year-old widow, Nor Nadia Abdul Majid, money from his own pocket to help the family with expenses.

“However, no amount of money can compensate for the loss of a loved one, especially for a wife who now has to continue life without her husband by her side,” Loke wrote in a social media post on Wednesday.
“I deeply understand the sorrow felt, and I express our profound sympathies to the deceased’s family in facing this difficult time.”
Amirul was on his way to buy his eldest son a mathematics book in the Malaysian port city of Klang on Sunday when his motorcycle was rammed by a car allegedly being driven at high speed, the New Straits Times reported.
