IPOH: The father of 17-year-old student Muhammad Zaharif Affendi Muhd Zamrie who was killed in a road accident has not been able to eat since the incident two days ago.

The victim's mother, Mimi Julia Ismail, 50 said her husband, Muhd Zamrie Zainal Abidin, 55, has not had food out of grief.

"He can't eat... when he remembers his child, he cannot swallow food, not even rice, water is all he has had," she said when met by reporters at their home here today.

On Dec 15, a video went viral on social media about a male student who died after the motorcycle he was riding was hit by a car, believed to have been driven by a 44-year-old senior police officer, on Jalan Taman Jati near SMK Jati near Meru.

In the 12.30pm incident, Muhammad Zaharif died at the scene after suffering injuries to his chest and abdomen.

Meanwhile, Muhd Zamrie said he could not be in a stressful situation due to his health condition

.

"I'll be honest, I've just had bariatric surgery, about a year ago. I can't be under pressure, if I'm under pressure or become too tired, I'll collapse," he said.

Yesterday, Muhd Zamrie collapsed when Perak Police chief Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri arrived at his family's residence at about 5pm.

Mohd Yusri and others present then helped console Muhd Zamrie. – BERNAMA
