"I hope the trial would proceed soon, so that justice is served.
"I do not know much about the inquest into his death, but I am hoping for a speedy trial," he said when met at the handover of donation at the Kedah Fire and Rescue Department's (JBPM) headquarters here today.
At the ceremony, Mohd Kassim and his wife, Asma Aziz, 52, and their two daughters received a donation from Mohd Adib Wira Merah Fund which was handed over by acting director of Kedah Fire and Rescue Department Mohd Zahar Abdullah.
They also received a RM2,500 donation from the Mara Junior Science College (MRSM) and RM500 from businessman Datuk Che Rozmey Che Din.
