According to a Borneo Post Online report, Mastura said this after paying a courtesy call on Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem and his wife Jamilah Anu in Kuching yesterday.

Wan Mohammad, the former Kuala Kangsar MP lost his life in a helicopter crash in Sebuyau, Sarawak, on May 5, while campaigning for the Barisan Nasional in the Sarawak state election.

“Sarawak is forever etched in my heart and my sons’ as this is the place where my late husband took his last breath.”

Mastura and her four sons thanked Adenan for the State Government’s efforts to locate Wan Mohammad’s remains and for repatriating the remains to be buried in Kuala Kangsar.

“Adenan as well as the State Government have provided us with a lot of assistance, including moral support to our family, as well as to the heirs of the other passengers killed in the incident.”

Mastura and her family will be going to the location where her husband’s remains were found, while a ‘tahlil’ prayer will be held at a nearby mosque today.

On May 5, the Eurocopter AS350, which Wan Mohammad was on, crashed near Sebuyau, killing him and another five on board.

The other victims were Noriah Kasnon, deputy plantation industries and commodities minister; her husband Asmuni Abdullah; the ministry’s secretary-general Dr Sundaran Annamalai; Noriah’s bodyguard Ahmad Sobri Harun and the pilot, Capt Rudolf Rex Ragas.

They were in Sarawak during campaigning for the state elections.
