SHAH ALAM, 8 Nov: "Mom asked me and my brother to study hard," said the eldest son of the late banker, Norazita Abu Talib, who was shot by a security guard at the USJ Ambank on 23 October.
Nurisa Nabilah Irwan, 12, said that her late mother's message still remains in her memory and her brother's, Muhammad Hazimi Irwan, 8, and it will continue to be the strength for them to excel in their studies.
Nurisa, who just finished taking the Primary School Achievement Test (UPSR), said that the loss of Norazita is a blow to her and Hazim, but support from their father, Irwan Kamaruddin, makes them strong.
Meanwhile, Irwan, 37, who works as a personal driver, also expressed his gratitude for the contributions and concern of the state government which is trying to help ease the burden of their family.
"All tasks previously shouldered by my late wife is now my responsibility. Now, I have the responsibility as both, a mother and father to my children.
"I hope that the police could quickly solve this case as find a solution so it does not recur and no other family would have to face this situation," he said.
Irwan said this when meeting with Selangor Kini after the state government's contribution of RM5,000 was delivered by the Exco for Welfare and Women's Affairs, Rodziah Ismail, and was also attended by the Assemblywoman for Taman Medan, Haniza Talhah, here at their home yesterday.
Rodziah said that the state government is ready to help in the form of legal advice if Irwan takes the matter to court for a lawsuit.
"This lawsuit is not meant for revenge, but it is more towards ensuring that all parties, especially the management of companies, are more sensitive in the selection of security members so that such an incident will not recur.
"We will also provide assistance in the form of legal advice and counsel so that Irwan will get a comprehensive explanation on this case," said Rodziah.
