Happy Birthday, dearest Mummy! Look at you, on the cover of a magazine - how many other women could dream of being a covergirl at 64? 😍
This is the woman who would outdance all the young girls in her church, who would be in the front line in performances with her ribbons and tamborine.
Who insisted she was fit enough to travel all over the world whilst fighting Stage 4 Cancer.
Who helped babysit my very active kids, whilst I was busy trying to be an entrepreneur-actress-mum-politician’s wife for years.
When I won my first Best Actress award, Mum said to me, ”You worked damn hard to deserve this, and you did this on your own. I’m so proud of you.” That made EVERYTHING worth it.
At the 2004 Malaysian Fim Festival, Puteri Gunung Ledang got snubbed BIG TIME, and the jury made it clear that they didn’t welcome a RM20m movie that tried to compete with other RM3m movies. And Mum said, “Forget the film industry. They don’t deserve your hard-earned money. Save the rest for your kids’ future.”
My Mummy was tough as nails, so I don’t blame her - she had a hard life, escaping by boat from Medan during the Malaysia-Indonesia confrontation in 1963. She became a widow at 39 and had to bring up 3 kids on a tiny salary. She had the highest tolerance for pain, and never moaned even once, through her 15-year ordeal with Cancer, until her very last breath in 2011.
And she would smile through every challenge. That smile, that covergirl smile 💜
You would have been 79 today, and there isn’t a day that passes when I don’t think of you and miss you being with me. Trust me Mum, your spirit lives on in every one of us you’ve left behind. And God has a smiley dancing angel in Heaven😇. I love you always and forever Mummy, rest in peace. And Happy Birthday!!!!
