“I wish to pay off all outstanding debts of the deceased and lead a debt-free life.
“The compensation funds received adequately cover the children’s educational expenses, alongside the pension benefits from my late husband,” she said.
Mdm. Sepiah, who is currently unemployed and caring for her grandson, plans to resume her business venture near her son’s school after her grandson moves to Penang with his mother.
