Ms Woo said Mr Syakir had used the Life360 location-sharing app, which alerted a friend that he had been involved in an accident and his location had not changed for some time.
When the friend rushed to the scene, he found My Syakir in a bad condition and informed Ms Woo, who headed to the hospital with his family.
Choking up, she added that when the accident happened, her fiancé was on the way to visit the grave of his father, who had passed away five years ago.
He would do this every time he missed him, she revealed.
Mr Syakir was buried the day after the accident, according to an Instagram Story posted by Ms Woo.
