TUMPAT: The remains of Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (AKPS) officer Norhazwani Ibrahim, 35, who was found dead at the KLIA quarters in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, last Thursday, was laid to rest at the Tanjong Muslim Cemetery in Pengkalan Kubor here early today
Her funeral was attended by family members, relatives and friends.
Her remains arrived at her family home in Kampung Banjir, Telaga Lanas here, at 1.10 am, where funeral prayers were performed before she was laid to rest.
Her elder brother, Mohd Hazwan, 38, said their meeting on the morning of the incident was now a cherished final memory, as he had not expected to lose his sister.
He said he had stayed overnight at her home after completing some errands in Bangi before returning to Kelantan.
“That morning, everything seemed normal. I never expected this to happen, which makes it all the more heartbreaking,” he told reporters at his home early today.
He learnt of her death through a phone call from her husband, who used her mobile phone to contact him.
Accepting her death as Allah SWT’s will, Mohd Hazwan thanked AKPS, the Royal Malaysian Customs Department and the police for their assistance in arranging the funeral, from Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital in Seremban to her final resting place in her hometown.
Norhazwani’s death has also affected her two children, aged five and six, who are being cared for by their maternal aunt in the village.
Mohd Hazwan said Norhazwani worked hard to provide for her children, visited them whenever her shift schedule allowed and had returned to her hometown the previous week for a matter at the Syariah Court on Oct 12.
Last Thursday, Norhazwani was found dead at the KLIA quarters in Nilai, allegedly killed by her husband.
Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said police received information about the incident at 8.30 pm.
