PETALING JAYA: National sprinter Mohd Azeem Fahmi was part of the quartet that captured silver in the 4x100m in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Track and Field Championships in Florida on Sunday (May 12).

KOTA KINABALU: Three women at an old folks home in Papar found comfort in each other’s company despite their different backgrounds.

"My husband and I both had jobs. And with four daughters to support, we didn’t mind working harder to earn extra income. That was our responsibility as parents," she said."As a mother, I have my shortcomings. I was strict with my daughters. I want them to know the meaning of a mother’s true love. We went through a lot. But I don’t regret what I did because I wanted to offer them every possible opportunity.

Not wanting to burden her children, Yong and her husband agreed to stay at the Holy Family Residence for Senior Citizens in Kampung Purak, Papar. "The best part is that my daughters never fail to come and visit us on weekends and sometimes take us out during special occasions," she said."Nowadays, I engage in light exercises like strolling along the home's corridors or watching my favourite Mandarin movies on my phone. However, I limit my screen time to two hours. Any longer strains my eyes," she said.
