A senior nurse at Sri Aman Hospital, Awi Mahiden, 53, said the victim was lively and approachable, often lifting the mood in the ward, and that her passing was deeply felt by co-workers.

“I was truly shocked, as just a day before the incident, we were still working and grabbing something to drink together. She was cheerful, gentle and always willing to help, and she always lifted the mood in the ward.
