Tattoo of my mum's name is for her, says son of sinkhole victim

"I'm sad because my mother could not see the tattoo (her name) I had on my left hand, tattooed especially for her," was the expression of the son of the victim of the Jalan Masjid India sinkhole incident.

M. Suria, 25, who remains inconsolable told Bernama that the tattoo of his mother's name Vijayaletchumy was imprinted on his left arm during his recent vacation in Thailand.

He said, his mother is everything to him, and everything he does is for her. That is why her name is the first thing that came to his mind for the tattoo.

Suria said the last time he spoke to Vijayaletchumy was early in the morning on the day of the incident.

He added that his brother-in-law was the one who had informed him about the incident and the fate of his mother on Friday.

Immediately after being informed about the mishap, Suria rushed to Kuala Lumpur from Thailand via Bukit Kayu Hitam in Kedah.

According to Suria, he and his family hope his mother's body can be found quickly as they intend to take her remains back to their hometown in India and bury her in Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India.

It is the sixth day today, and the family has accepted her fate.

A check by Bernama revealed that Suria and his father together with family members were always present at the location of the incident to keep track of the latest information about the SAR.
