TAPAH, May 18 — Constable Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar, who was killed in attack by a 'lone wolf' at the Ulu Tiram Police Station in Johor yesterday, was laid to rest at 6.43pm today at the Kampung Poh Muslim cemetery in Bidor.
The casket bearing his remaIns arrived at the cemetery at 6.35pm for a Royal Malaysia Police Hero's Burial Ceremony.
It was carried out of the police hearse with a Slow March Movement.
Shortly afterwards, the Jalur Gemilang that draped the casket was then folded and handed by Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay to the deceased's father Azhar Khaiden.
This act represented the Malaysian government's tribute to Azza Fahmi and his family.
The shrouded remains were then lowered into the grave, followed by the recitation of the Talqin prayer led by his uncle Tajaruddin Hassan.
Over 1,000 people, including family members, police personnel, and villagers attended Azza Fahmi's final journey.
Earlier, his remains arrived at his family residence in Kampung Poh Tambahan from the Johor police contingent headquarters at 6pm.
Funeral prayers were then held and last respects were paid by about 500 family members and friends who were present.
The funeral procession involved 17 personnel and an officer in ceremonial attire from the Tapah district police headquarters, who were received by the family in a solemn atmosphere.
In the 2.45am incident yesterday, Constable Muhamad Syafiq Ahmad Said, 24, and Constable Ahmad Azza Fahmi, 22, died in the attack at the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor Bahru.
Another police officer, Corporal Mohd Hasif Roslan, was shot and was reported to be stable after being treated at the Sultan Ismail Hospital.
Police confirmed that a 21-year-old male suspect was shot dead in the incident.
