This was not the first case. Indeed, this has happened so many times. At least, once a year. I do still remember when I was 11. It was in fasting months when people went to Masjid Binjai Rendah for terawikh (night prayers). And there was one night when we were shocked with the news that our big cousin, Kak Long died because of road accident while crossing the road to the mosque. Hence, that year we celebrated eid mubarak with heart filled with sorrow and tears.10 years later, thing seemed unchanged. When her stepfather, our gentle Pok Long, left us forever at the same place and destination.
Last night, when sister just came back from there, she told me that Tok Billal Rozek just hit by a trailer and 3 cars in front of the mosque and died there. Inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji'oon
It happens. And it keeps happening. The road is wider now. And gives more spaces for road users to speed on that long straight road (with a bend just before the mosque). I wonder why the speed limit sign shows a maximum of 90 km/h which previously was only 60. And I hope the government/state project of building up road divider which has been stopped only few meters from the mosque will be proceeded as soon as possible.
Drive safe

do you live in rural or town area? its ridiculous if they put 90km/h signboard in a rural place especially in the village!
maybe you can suggest to JKR there or even the police about the signboard? who knows you could save life
kampung2 but it s jalan persekutuan (main road that connects KT to Kuala Berang). very wide/big.
Suggest to JKR? hmm.. fyi, our wakil rakyat is staying just behind the mosque. for the record, he is the exco who deals with JKR everyday.
