Meanwhile, his fiancée, Nuralifah Ilyana Azman from Kampung Seberang Pintasan, Dungun, was rushed to Kemaman Hospital for immediate treatment.
According to Kemaman police chief Supt Hanyan Ramlan, the couple was believed to have been on their way home from purchasing their engagement rings
Hanyan said Aliff, who was the driver, was said to be sending his soon-to-be wife back to Dungun after purchasing their rings in Kemaman.
However, while on the way back, a Mazda MPV on the other side of the road lost control and swerved onto their side of the highway.
"The MPV entered the right lane of the opposite road and collided with [the victims' Proton Wira]," said the police chief.
