KUALA LUMPUR: "I called the Fire and Rescue Department yesterday at 5.38am when I realised fire had broken out at the tahfiz school," said Norsuhaizah Jumaat. The 32-year-old civil servant, who lives across the street from the Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah Tahfiz school, said she woke up upon hearing noises and someone screaming for help. "I am not sure about the fate of the two boys whom I heard screaming for help from the window. I kept having flash backs to the moments when the students were begging for help," she said. Questions have been raised over why the city Fire and Rescue Department was only alerted to the incident almost 30 minutes after the blaze began.
