THE pregnant wife of an oil platform worker who was reportedly killed during an incident believed to be linked to an emergency training exercise in the waters off Terengganu-Pahang was distraught after learning about her husband’s death today.
Nurkhaeryna Dhania Azreen Khairil Azri, 28, said she was informed that her husband, Muhammad Faezuan Hakim Mohammad Bustaman, 28, was involved in the incident at about 4 pm, after she received a call from his employer.
"The company was unable to give any further information about my husband’s condition at that time, but only said he was involved in the incident, but did not say whether he had died or why they had not obtained the full information,” she told Bernama when met at the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital’s forensics department.
As soon as she finished with the call, she and her mother left home from Bukit Setongkol, Kuantan, Pahang and arrived at the hospital at about 7 pm.
Nur Kairina said the last time she met her husband was last Sunday, before he returned to duty on the offshore platform for two weeks.
Her husband, an experienced offshore worker since 2019, had just joined the company in March and was scheduled to return on June 1. "I’m very sad because he had planned to accompany me during my confinement period after we welcome our second child into this world. Only Allah SWT knows how devastated I feel,” she said. – May 25, 2026
