“I hope that this doesn’t happen anymore as we as parents are grieving, but to those who pray for us, I thank you with all my heart,” she said.
Nur Azwani, who was met at Kampung Tengah Perupok, Bachok, also hoped that parents would monitor their children’s whereabouts during hot weather by not allowing them to perform any outside activities that could affect their health.
