        "content": "<p>A photograph of an elderly man named Muhammad Umar (80) giving a life\njacket to his granddaughter, Naura (13), moments before the KLM Nurul\nSalsa sank in the waters off Selayar, South Sulawesi, has gone viral on\nsocial media. Both remain missing. Pasimasunggu Sub-district Head Nur\nAmin Arsyad stated that the photograph was taken during the critical\nmoments when the vessel suffered engine failure before ultimately\nsinking near Polassi Island. According to a surviving passenger, Umar\nchose not to wear the available life jacket. \u2018The photo was taken on the\nboat during the moments the engine blacked out. According to the\nsurvivors we evacuated, the grandfather was actually holding a life\njacket, but he refused to wear it,\u2019 Nur Amin Arsyad told reporters on\nWednesday (22\/7\/2026). Nur Amin said Umar chose to give the life jacket\nto his granddaughter amidst the panic on board, especially as he was the\noldest passenger on the vessel. \u2018It seems that because of the panic, and\nbecause he was the oldest there, as soon as he was given a life jacket,\nhe immediately gave it to his granddaughter,\u2019 he stated. Umar was\ntravelling with his family after attending a family event in East\nPasimasunggu, Pasimasunggu District. They were returning to Benteng\nUtara Village, Bontoharu District, aboard the KLM Nurul Salsa. \u2018Muhammad\nUmar was with his wife and granddaughter Naura. There were six of them\nin the family. Only one survived, while the other five are still\nmissing,\u2019 Nur Amin revealed. As of now, Naura and four other family\nmembers remain unaccounted for, while Naura\u2019s aunt, Rosma, was the sole\nsurvivor.<\/p>",
