Must be travelling very fast or not wearing seat belt for someone to die. Why full honours when he didnt die during service?
(Left) The car crashed into a tree near Block 132, Simei Street 1. (Right) Mr Azhar being given a ceremonial burial with full honours, attended by fellow SCDF officers.
Lying on a stretcher and wearing a neck brace, Madam Siti Nur Shahidah was tilted slowly to her side by paramedics so she could have one last look at her husband.
With tears in her eyes, Madam Siti, 30, said her final farewell to her husband of three years, Mr Noor Azhar Haji Tamron, on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Azhar, 33, was killed while his wife fractured her back and was bruised on her body and face after their car slammed into a tree at the side of Simei Street 1, near Block 132, at 2am on Wednesday.
Despite her injuries, Madam Siti was taken from Changi General Hospital (CGH) in an ambulance to the void deck of Block 120, Simei Street 1, where the couple live, to attend her husband's funeral.
She was wheeled in on a stretcher and parked next to her husband's body for five minutes before it was taken away to the cemetery for burial.
The touching sight moved many of her family members and other mourners to tears.
Madam Siti was also seen briefly touching her two-year-old daughter, Irsa, who was being carried by a friend, and her 11/2-month-old newborn, Irayna.
After spending about 10 minutes at the funeral, she was taken back to CGH.
The couple had met when they were both working in the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) in the same fire station.
Their love blossomed in 2009 and they got married in July the next year.
After Madam Siti left her SCDF job, Mr Azhar went on to become a Warrant Officer.
His eldest sister, Ms Nora Tamron, told The New Paper that they shared a close relationship.
The last time she heard from her youngest brother was on Feb 10 - he was the first person to wish her happy birthday shortly after midnight.
