KUALA LUMPUR – A young nurse from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Sungai Buloh Hospital has passed away due to Covid-19 on 5 June.
Earlier, China Press reported that Mugilarasi A/P Perumal, 26, passed away at the Ampang Hospital.
Mugilarasi’s sister, when contacted by China Press said that her sister who originated from Batu Gajah, Perak is the youngest among five siblings.
Besides being heart-broken by the demise of a loved one, her family members are also facing various fake news being circulated on the death of their sister.
Earlier, a video went viral, showing the family members crying and mourning as they watched the body of their Mugilarasi being placed in a coffin before it was cremated.
The family was also separated by a glass window when the body was handled by healthcare workers and employees from the funeral parlour.
Mugilarasi’s sister also requested the public to remove the videos of the funeral as it is very sensitive to her family and it hurts their feelings.
“We have lodged a police report on the video. Please take care of our sensitivity and understand our feelings by removing this video,” she said. –MalaysiaGazette
