KUALA LUMPUR, 12 OCTOBER 2026 —

Rantau Panjang Member of Parliament Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff was injured in a road accident at 6:00 pm yesterday at Kilometer 7 of the Jalan Lingkaran Tengah Utama near Lipis, Pahang.

Lipis District Police Chief Superintendent Ismail Man stated that the vehicle was driven by Siti Zailah’s 26-year-old daughter at the time of the crash. According to the police statement released this morning, the car reportedly spun out of control upon arriving at the scene before colliding with the barrier on the right side of the road. Ismail confirmed that while Siti Zailah sustained injuries to her chest and stomach, her daughter was not hurt.

The accident occurred while the vehicle was traveling from Gua Musang, Kelantan, towards the capital.

The case is being investigated under Regulation 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959. Ismail appealed to the public to come forward with any information that could assist in completing the investigation. He noted that the police are seeking witnesses to the incident to help clarify the circumstances surrounding the loss of vehicle control.

In a separate statement, PAS Pahang Deputy Secretary-General Andansura Rabu told Malaysiakini that Siti Zailah’s injuries were not serious and that she was receiving treatment at the hospital. Rabu said he had limited information regarding the specific details of the accident but noted that initial reports indicated the injuries were not severe. He expressed hope that Siti Zailah would recover quickly and regain her strength to continue serving the people.

Siti Zailah, a member of the PAS Central Executive Committee, is known for her involvement in community relief efforts, including flood assistance programs in Rantau Panjang. Her political colleagues have expressed concern for her well-being, with one official posting on social media to pray for her speedy recovery and resilience. The post highlighted her dedication to public service and requested prayers for her health.

The investigation into the accident remains ongoing, with police relying on witness accounts to determine the exact cause of the vehicle losing control. No further details on the specific mechanical or environmental factors contributing to the crash have been released.
