Mohammad Norraahmad died at about 1 pm at the Yan Hospital.

Nurshazana’s cousin Hairul Azahar Harun, 33, said Nurshazana had complained of stomach ache after the wedding feast at the cousin’s house in Tanjung Dawai on Saturday.
He also said that Nurshazana’s stepmother and her siblings aged eight and 10 had also suffered food poisoning but had recovered.
“Nurshazana was found by family members lying prone in her bedroom this morning and was rushed to the hospital but was confirmed dead there,” he said.
Hairul Azahar said Nurshazana, the third of seven siblings, had gone to their cousin’s house two days earlier for the wedding.
Mohammad Norraahmad’s mother, Norma Khalid, 45, when approached at the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital, said the youngest of five siblings had followed his father, Yusof Arifin, 50, to the wedding.
“They ate ‘ayam masak merah’ (a chicken dish) at the feast. At night, they complained of stomach ache. When the condition of my son grew worse today, we rushed him to the Yan Hospital. He lost consciousness and was confirmed dead at 1 pm,” she said.
Bernama learned that the family of Ibrahim had taken his body to Besut for burial.- BERNAMA
Was the food cooked by the villagers (gotong royong) as in
normal practice at the kampungs, or prepared by the
caterers???
Was it caused by rotten food or something poisonous that
the people were not aware of ( for ex. some types of mushroo ...)
whatever it is, my heart goes with the family whom had lost
their loved ones unexpectedly in this incident. May Allah
SWT bless them for their patience.
