The SMU accountancy graduate says she is “proud” of her father for putting her and her sister through university as a prata hawker, and now wants to fulfil his last wish of having his children take over his business.

She distinctly remembered one of her last conversations with Mr Mohgan, who had been struggling with poor health. He urged her to continue running his business in the event that he passed on. Mrs Mohgan recalled: “He told me, ‘If the time comes when you cannot cope, or you are not feeling well, then you do something about the shop lah. But for now you have to take care of the shop, take care of my customers.’"The Mohgans have two university-educated daughters, who are now 25 and 22.

Mona expressed relief that her financial advisor job has flexible hours, so she did not have to give up her own career to fulfil her parents’ wishes. She works at the prata stall in the morning, and meets clients in the evening. “The hours are not so bad. My appointments are usually in the evenings from 5pm, and by 9am I can go home. Wednesday is my ‘off’ day,” she shared.

Mr Mohgan also taught his daughters the basics of making prata. “He imparted to me his special technique to make sure the prata is fluffy. After that I slowly practised and figured things out on my own,” Mona said. “I have sort of taken over now. I can do everything.”
