Grieving family proceeds with son's wedding despite tragedy
She said her third child, Muhd Syafiq Abdul Rahim, 24, solemnised his marriage, accompanied by his youngest sister, Siti Zulaika, 21, and several close friends.
Other family members managed the funeral arrangements for her eldest daughter, Nurul Ain Abdul Rahim, 39, as well as her granddaughter Nur Atikah Najihah Mohd Shah Penilzain, 18, and husband, Mohamad Faris Kamaluddin, 24.
The three were killed in a collision involving a Perodua Myvi and an express bus on Jalan Kuala Krai-Gua Musang yesterday.
'We will hold a tahlil prayer tomorrow, which was initially planned as a reception to welcome our new daughter-in-law,' Hasmah told reporters at Kampung Kayu Rendang, Melor, here today.
Hasmah and her husband, Abdul Rahim Mat Diah, 71, were unable to attend Muhd Syafiq's solemnisation ceremony as they were preparing for the burial, scheduled after Zohor prayers at the Kampung Jambu Merah Cemetery in Kota Bharu.
She said the family is still awaiting the remains of Nurul Ain, while the bodies of Nur Atikah Najihah and Mohamad Faris are expected to be taken to Johor Bahru.
Her other daughter, Siti Zubaidah, 37, said the family was shocked by the incident as they had planned to gather in their hometown for Muhd Syafiq's wedding celebration.
'I first heard about the accident from our youngest sister, but I didn't believe it until Syafiq himself called and showed me a photo of the car they were in,' she said.

Klang road rage: Hilux driver released after arrest, says he was rushing to injured mum
KUALA LUMPUR: The pickup truck driver who went viral for tailgating and threatening another motorist on the North Klang Straits Bypass is believed to have been rushing to his mother's home after she reportedly suffered a fall. Klang Utara police chief Assistant Commissioner Vijaya Rao Samachulu said the 29-year-old man came forward to lodge a police report last night, accompanied by his lawyer, at the Klang Utara police headquarters' Traffic Department around 10pm. He said the suspect was subsequently arrested early this morning and taken for a urine test. "The test results returned negative for drugs, and he was released on police bail at about 3am. "According to his statement, during the incident he was on his way to his mother's house, as she had fallen and he wanted to take her to hospital," he said. Vijaya Rao said the case has now been reclassified under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving, which carries a penalty of up to five years' jail and a fine of between RM5,000 and RM15,000 upon conviction. Yesterday, it was reported that police are investigating a viral altercation involving two drivers, in which a four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle sideswiped and collided with a car on the New North Klang Straits Bypass. In the more than three-minute-long video, the man was seen punching the driver's side window of a Perodua Myvi and behaving aggressively, even as a police officer attempted to intervene. The incident, which involved two vehicles, occurred about 6.15pm on Thursday. The driver of the Perodua Myvi was unhurt and has chosen not to pursue the case further, saying that he only wishes to make an insurance claim for the accident.
