The man had also left behind a plastic bag containing clothes, a mobile phone, and his Yamaha Y16 motorcycle by the bridge barrier before vanishing.

When contacted by the news portal, his wife, Nurul Natasha Amyra Ishak, said his body was sent to Penang Hospital for a post-mortem.
She added that she has come to terms with her husband’s passing.
“My heart just misses you and I accept it. But if you’re really gone, please let your body appear,” she wrote in post on TikTok.

However, she doesn’t know the reason for her husband’s falling to the sea from the Penang Bridge.
