Aidilfitri Preparations Go Up In Flames
Updated: 2012-07-31-17:51
KEMAMAN, July 31 (Bernama) — The Aidilfitri preparations of four families in Lorong 14, Kampung Besut here went up in flames Monday night.
For expectant mother Nazira Ismail @ Kamal, 30, it was a double jeopardy for her as items she had bought for her yet to be born baby were also gutted.
The fire occurred at about 7.40pm as Nazira, her husband, Saikri Ngah @Choh, 40, and their children, Sophiya Karmila, 8, and Maryam Khalisa, 4, were breaking their fast at her older sister’s home in Kampung Mak Chili near here.
“After breaking the fast for 10 minutes, my husband received a call informing us that our house was on fire.
“At first, I was rather reluctant to break the fast at my sister’s home as it is tiring for me to walk. We relented as my sister was very persistent. Neighbours managed to salvage only our television set,” said Nazira, who is a kindergarten teacher.
