"Alhamdulillah we are grateful to have reached here, even the funeral is over, I ask for prayers for my sister to be placed among the faithful," he said tearfully.

He said his sister's remains were buried at the location because it is his wife's village who is also Nur Farah Kartini's sister-in-law to facilitate the burial process.
