The family of the Maldivian student who passed after being injured in a car accident in Sunway, near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has requested public assistance with their stay in Malaysia.

Amina Imily Nazim, 21, Marish, Hithadhoo, Addu City, passed away from injuries sustained in the accident that occurred yesterday. She was studying at Taylor’s University in Malaysia.

The accident reportedly occurred while Imily was returning home after going to a shopping mall.

As the Malaysian police are investigating the case, Imily's body is currently being held at a mortuary.

According to a family member who spoke to Mihaaru News, Imily's mother, father and an additional family member are currently on a flight to Malaysia. They will have a late afternoon arrival in Malaysia.

The family member who spoke to Mihaaru News said that the return tickets for Imily's mother and father were arranged by the government.

The family member said that as the investigation would take around two weeks, there will be a substantial amount of expenses for their stay in the country, food and mortuary costs. They also said that as the family is not too well off, they request public assistance.

Including Imily, the family has three children.

Another Maldivian was also in the car and sustained injuries in the accident. They also sustained various injuries.

Photos circulating on social media showed the car colliding with another vehicle on a highway before overturning.
