Although he was a quiet person, he was always there to lend a helping hand. His knowledge and skills were always commended by his peers and superiors. Pak Sanni’s excellent track record earned him the title of one of the best operator in the warehouse. Pak Sanni was 36 years old and left behind his wife and three children.

He was just 30 years old and leaves behind his wife and two children.
