Background
Shahfiq and seven other Singaporean men were heading to the town of Pagoh, Johor, for a pre-dawn meal.
During the journey, one of the motorcycles experienced a flat tyre, so the rider stopped at an R&R (rest and recreation) area at Yong Peng.
The other seven motorcyclists waited for him in the highway's emergency lane.
A lorry travelling in the same direction subsequently lost control and collided with the waiting convoy group.
Shahfiq and his friend, Mohamad Firman Nordin, both 26, were killed on the spot.
The other four Singaporean men in the convoy suffered severe injuries and are receiving treatment at Johor's Sultanah Fatimah Specialist Hospital.
