- NSTP/FARHANA YAACOBALOR GAJAH: Despite facing financial hardship, an elderly man in Kampung Ayer Limau, Masjid Tanah, remains steadfast in caring for his wife, who suffered a stroke, and their two schoolgoing children. He said he had previously worked as a beverage maker at the same eatery as his wife but had to quit his job to focus entirely on caring for her, as she could only move with the aid of a wheelchair. "Although I no longer have family support, I will continue to care for my wife and children for as long as I live," he said. "Moreover, I have long been estranged from my family, while my wife is unwell, so we will celebrate in a simple manner," he said. "We will also work together to clean the house so that they can celebrate Syawal like other families," she said.
