Daughter cries in her sleep following FRU truck tragedy
Nur Aini Samiun, 44, said their children, Muhd Raqin Najmi, 13, Muhd Rizqi Nazhan, 9, and Nur Aqeela Rawida, had a close relationship with their father.
'I would take care of the children while my late husband handled the finances. Now that he's gone, I have to take on all those responsibilities,' she said when met at her home in Taman Kinding Raya, Tanjung Rambutan, during Ziarah Kasih, the National Higher Education Fund Corporation's (PTPTN) outreach programme, today.
Nur Aini said Mohd Roslan was well-liked and did not hesitate to take leave from work to care for his ailing parents until both of them passed away.
Earlier, PTPTN chairman Datuk Seri Norliza Abdul Rahim said the three children are eligible to receive benefits totalling RM193,000 through the National Education Savings Scheme (Simpan SSPN), contributed under the Simpan SSPN Prime and Simpan SSPN Plus products.
Nur Aini said her husband was always mindful of the future, diligently setting aside savings for their children.
'...we don't have a high income or many assets, and I am unemployed, savings like this (SSPN) can help support us in the future,' she added.
In the 8.50 am accident, the FRU truck collided with a stone-laden lorry along Jalan Chikus–Sungai Lampam, also injuring nine personnel.

'Datuk' remanded in RM75mil money laundering probe
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has remanded a company director bearing the title "Datuk", suspected of involvement in money laundering activities amounting to approximately RM75 million. A four-day remand order, until July 6, was issued by magistrate Irza Zulaikha Rohanuddin following an application by the MACC at the Putrajaya Magistrate's Court earlier this morning. According to sources, the male suspect, in his 50s, was detained at about 4pm yesterday when he presented himself at the MACC headquarters to give a statement. "The suspect is believed to have committed the offence in 2012, involving the approval of RM400 million in loan financing for a fibre network development project. "Initial investigations suggest that RM75 million from the amount was channelled to a company owned by the suspect," the source said. On June 30, MACC's Special Operations Division carried out raids at four separate locations, including the suspect's residence and office in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. "During the operation, the MACC froze 12 bank accounts, both personal and corporate, estimated to contain about RM400,000," the source added. Meanwhile, MACC Special Operations Division senior director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin, when contacted, confirmed the suspect's arrest. The case is being investigated under offences related to the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLA) 2001.

Nilai frozen food trader loses RM680,000 to online investment scam
SEREMBAN: A frozen food trader lost some RM680,000 after he was lured by scammers to invest in a non-existent online investment scheme. Nilai police chief Supt Abdul Malik Hasim said the victim, who is in his early 50s, lodged a report at the district police station Thursday (July 3) upon learning that he had been scammed. "The victim claimed that he had been contacted by an individual on social media on April 21 asking if he was keen to invest in an investment scheme which offered high returns. "The victim, who was taken in by the promise of high returns, then transferred the money via 43 transactions into 19 accounts," he said in a statement. Supt Abdul Malik said the victim only realised that he had been scammed when he was unable to withdraw his so-called profits. He said the case is being probed under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.

MMEA seizes RM900,000 worth of cannabis in Kuala Perlis
KANGAR: The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) in the Kuala Perlis Maritime Zone foiled an attempt to smuggle 170 kilogrammes of compressed cannabis worth nearly RM900,000 in Kuala Perlis waters early today. Kedah and Perlis MMEA director First Admiral Romli Mustafa said the cannabis seizure from a wooden engine-powered boat at around 3.30 am was the result of intelligence gathered by the Kuala Perlis Maritime Zone intelligence unit and continuous patrolling under Op AMAN over the past few days. 'A maritime patrol boat spotted an unregistered wooden vessel about 0.3 nautical miles west of Pulau Ketam using night vision binoculars. 'When the wooden vessel spotted the patrol boat, it changed course toward a mangrove swamp in an attempt to evade capture but was intercepted. One suspect jumped into the sea and swam toward the mangroves to escape,' he told a press conference. Romli said a further check of the boat revealed eight multicoloured gunny sacks containing 157 blocks of compressed dry leaves suspected to be cannabis, wrapped in clear plastic and packaging bearing foreign writing, concealed beneath fishing nets to avoid detection. He said the syndicate's modus operandi involved posing as local fishermen and infiltrating national waters under the cover of darkness to evade authorities. Some local fishermen are also suspected of being involved in these smuggling activities. 'The syndicate was found to be using unregistered wooden boats, likely from a neighbouring country, transferring the drugs to locally operated long-tail engine boats to bring them to shore,' he said. Romli said the amount of cannabis seized could have supplied over 30,000 addicts. The case is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1952.
