PM Anwar Extends Contribution To MAF Veteran With Ailing Leg

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has presented a donation to a Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) veteran Yusuf Awang who is suffering from a nerve problem in his leg.

The donation was presented by the Prime Minister's political secretary Datuk Ahmad Farhan Fauzi who visited Yusof at his residence in Kampung Alor Ladang, Beserah in Kuantan, Pahang.

Ahmad Farhan said the cash donation and food basket were given to Yusof as an appreciation of his sacrifices.

"Pakcik Yusuf is facing by a nerve problem in his leg that limits his everyday movements. However, behind this weakness, the determination of the soldier who once stood bravely to defend the homeland is evident.

"May Allah SWT continue to grant him health, perseverance, and blessings in his life. The sacrifices of people like Pakcik Yusuf are the foundation for the blessings of peace that we enjoy today," he said in a Facebook post that was also shared by the Prime Minister, today.

Meanwhile, Ahmad Farhan also presented a contribution on behalf of the Prime Minister to a policeman, Sergeant N. Yasotharan, who is battling chronic diabetes, at his residence in Indera Mahkota, Kuantan.

Ahmad Farhan said the cash assistance and food basket given to Yasotharan showed that the sacrifices of a police officer are never overlooked.

“Yasotharan has been incapacitated by chronic diabetes, which caused his leg to be amputated. He also requires regular dialysis treatment and is now facing vision problems.

“My heart was deeply moved to see the condition of a police officer who once stood tall to safeguard the people’s safety, now lying down enduring such a heavy trial … truly, it is the service of individuals like him that form the pillar of our nation’s peace,” he said in a Facebook post also shared by the Prime Minister today.

Ahmad Farhan also prayed for Yasotharan to be granted healing and strength to endure the challenges he is facing.
