Datuk Jalaluddin Hassan, who turned 72 on Feb 18, says he continues to welcome Ramadan with the same enthusiasm, regardless of age. “What I’ve discovered is that I still feel enthusiastic about fasting no matter how busy my schedule is,” he shares. says he has grown even more appreciative of Ramadan now that he gets to witness his grandchildren fasting. “I actually prefer watching my grandchildren break their fast rather than focusing on myself,” says Jalaluddin, a father of 12 and grandfather to 32. This Ramadan, Jalaluddin appears on Dapur Bapak Bapak on Astro Prima (Ch 105) alongside Chef Wan and music maestro Ramli MS, better known as Tok Ram.
