The 32-year-old father of three suffered serious internal injuries, multiple fractures, and infections following the crash.
Reflecting on the harrowing weeks of uncertainty, Rasidah expressed her gratitude to everyone who had offered support.

“Alhamdulillah, everything is okay. We are going through the process with acceptance and gratitude,“ she wrote
