Tapah, 6th May 2026 - For Azhar Khaiden, 56, watching worshippers gather at Surau Al-Fahmi in Kampung Poh Tambahan near Bidor has become a quiet source of healing since the loss of his son.

His son, Constable Ahmad Azza Fahmi Azhar, 22, was among two police ofifcers killed during an armed attack at the Ulu Tiram police station in Johor on May 17, 2024.

Constable Muhamad Syafiq Ahmad Said, 24, also died in the assault, while Corporal Mohd Hasif Rosian, 38, sustained injuries. The attacker was shot and killed at the scene.

Named in Ahmad Azza's memory, the surau was established in August 2024 using a donation from the Retired Senior Police Ofifcers Association of Malaysia, and began operations in March 2025. The retired teacher said the modest prayer hall has since grown into a thriving focal point for the village.

"It's not just a place for the five daily prayers, we've also held tarawih, Aidilfitri and Aidiladha prayers here," he said, adding that a weekly tahlil is held every Friday in remembrance of his son.
