SEREMBAN – Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar advised the public not to share pictures or videos of the victims of yesterday's tragic plane crash on the Guthrie Highway near Bandar Elmina.

He asked the public to respect the sensitivity of the victims’ families by not abusing social media and pray that they would be given the strength to face the difficulties ahead.

“We need to maintain etiquette when using social media. We shall strive to preserve others' aib (imperfection or shame) like we preserve our aib.

“My condolences to the families of the victims and we pray for them to be given patience for the loss of their loved ones,” he told reporters after handing over 15 sets of computers at Sekolah Menengah Sains Tuanku Aisha Rohani today.

Yesterday, a Beechcraft Model 390 (Premier 1) aircraft crashed resulting in the death of 10 individuals including Pahang Local Government, Housing, Environment and Green Technology Committee chairman Datuk Seri Johari Harun.

Eight of the victims were six passengers and two crew aboard the light aircraft, while the other two were a motorcyclist and a car driver who happened to be passing by the crash site. – August 18, 2023
