10 lives were lost yesterday and one of them was a food delivery rider who was on his way to complete his last order of the day.

According to Berita Harian, Muhamad Hafiz Muhamad Salleh, 32, was on his way to deliver “soup gearbox” to a customer in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam.

Mohd Fairuz Imam Mahdi, the head of the Subang 2 Zon rider team said the team had finished delivering food in the area and was planning to take a break at 3 pm. However, they received a delivery order in Bukit Jelutong at 2:41 pm.

The delivery system registered the order and likely Muhamad Hafiz was en route to Bukit Jelutong when tragedy struck. The delivery system automatically stopped when it failed to detect a GPS position update around 2:57 pm.

The group of dispatchers suspected that the victim might have been killed, and there were concerns about his phone potentially exploding due to the accident.

Hafiz was supposed to take a short break at 3 pm and reconnect at 4.45 pm. The Subang 2 delivery group was unaware of the situation until around 8 pm when they realized Muhamad Hafiz was missing. The initial video of the incident didn’t identify him as a Foodpanda rider.

Meanwhile Foodpanda on their official “foodpanda riders” Facebook page shared their message of condolences, describing Muhamad Faiz as their “best rider”.
