Last week, two victims perished in a horrific accident on a highway in Johor, Malaysia, when several vehicles burst into flames.
Unfortunately, a similar tragedy has struck again, this time over in Selangor.
In the wee hours of Friday morning (21 Oct), firefighters received an alert regarding a burning car on a road in the Klang District.

While the victim’s identity is pending confirmation, Free Malaysia Today reports that he is believed to be an elderly man in his 70s.
The victim’s body is now in the police’s possession awaiting further action. The authorities are currently investigating the cause of the inferno.
China Press notes that this is the second case in just 11 days involving a vehicle on fire in the state.
On 10 Oct, a man lost his life in a burning car near a mosque in Bandar Kinrara, a township in Puchong, Selangor.
Like the most recent case, it also involved a Perodua Kancil, Harian Metro reports.
MS News extends our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased. May he rest in peace.
