A 22-year-old Maldivian student passed away yesterday following a highway collision near Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, when the vehicle she was travelling in collided with another car and overturned.
The deceased has been identified as Aamina Imilee Nazim, a native of Hithadhoo, Addu City.

The family appealed to the public and media outlets to refrain from circulating images of her online as they grieve during this difficult time. Photographs circulating online show that the vehicle overturned after colliding with another car.
“Out of respect for the pain our family is experiencing, it is our earnest request that photos of our sister not be shared on any media platform,” her family wrote in a Facebook post last night.
Despite the family’s request to refrain from circulating photos of the deceased student, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu posted a condolence message on X accompanied by her picture.
The President later re-uploaded a condolence message on X, without the photograph, offering his deepest sympathies to the family.
According to official sources, another Maldivian national travelling in the vehicle at the time of the crash survived with non-life-threatening injuries.
