Yesterday was the event with the President of MSU for giveaways of Zakat for the students. It was a day that most students looked forward to – meeting the President, and of course, the excitement of getting the ‘Duit Raya’.

Amongst the recipients, is one student who has bone disease and moves with her wheelchair. She beamed when she entered the lobby area in her simple yet colorful Baju Kurung, and to my surprise, her character was just as colorful as well. Later did I discover that this bright student, who is studying the foundation program, had lost two siblings due to the same illness. Her illness made her fragile at the bones, and causes excruciating pain at times.
