PETALING JAYA: Three Kedah PAS women’s wing leaders were killed in a car crash on the North-South Expressway (PLUS), while on their way home to Sungai Petani after attending the party’s muktamar this morning.

PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the deceased were from the party’s Sungai Petani division women’s wing, namely its chief Taibah Sulaiman, youth chief Fatihah Nabilah, and deputy secretary-general Najihah Amzi.

“May the family members (of the victims) be granted strength and patience in facing this test,” he said in a Facebook post.

Two of them died at the scene of the accident, which occurred near Behrang, Perak, while the third died on the way to the hospital.

They left the muktamar in Shah Alam after listening to PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s speech this morning, Sinar Harian reported.

The PAS muktamar, which started today and ends on Sunday, saw former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad make his first appearance at the Islamic party’s annual general assembly.
