KLANG: “Adik sayang mama”, (I love you mama) were Shahrul Kamal Roslan’s last words to his mother Mahanum Ismail before the pilot was killed in the air crash earlier yesterday on the Guthrie Highway near the Elmina township in Shah Alam.
Mahanum, 67, said his words kept playing over and over in her mind.
“He was a mama’s boy and the last time I spoke to him was when I was admitted to the (Tuanku Mizan Military) hospital, the day before I had a surgery.
“…before hanging up the phone he told me that he loved me,” she said while holding back tears when met outside the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital Forensic Department here.
Mahanum said Shahrul Kamal left behind his wife and four sons aged between three and 12.
Meanwhile, Shamsul Azizan Md Nasir, 62, said he went to the Forensic Department to confirm whether his brother-in-law was one of the victims of the crash.
He said Khairil Azwan Jamaluddin was a private pilot for Pelangai assemblyman Datuk Seri Johari Harun.
“I just want confirmation whether he was on the plane or not…I tried to call my sister but couldn’t get through,” he told reporters.
A Beechcraft Model 390 (Premier 1) light business jet aircraft flying from Langkawi to the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang crashed at about 2.50 pm, killing the six passengers and two crew on board and a motorcyclist and a motorist on the ground. – BERNAMA
