It’s nasi lemak and PM for company for 10-year-old
PUTRAJAYA: Yesterday will be a day Mohammad Nur Aliff Omar will long remember.
The 10-year-old, suffering from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, was the breakfast guest of the Prime Minister and his wife.
Mohammad Nur Aliff, from Miri, was accompanied to Seri Perdana by his parents and grandmother as well as representatives of the Children Wish Society of Malaysia.
During the hour-long visit, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak showed his study and an arowana fish, much to the delight of the boy. The Prime Minister also gave him duit raya.
Mohammad Nur Aliff told reporters that he enjoyed meeting the country’s No. 1 leader.
The boy was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - a severe recessive form of muscular dystrophy characterised by rapid progression of muscle degeneration - three years ago.
His father Omar Bakar, 55, said he was thankful to Najib for the time with his son.
Children Wish Society of Malaysia president Tan Sri Dr R.V. Navaratnam said he was touched by the sympathy and care shown by Najib and his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor. “The meeting cheered up Mohammad Nur Aliff.”
Meanwhile, Najib said the Barisan Nasional government had done “a mountain high of deeds” but chose not to boast about it.
On the other hand, he said, the Opposition did only a few little things “but the noise they make could wake up a whole kampung”.
“We exempted those with electricity bill of RM20 and below from paying it and about one million households throughout the country are enjoying this.
“We did not turn that into an earth-shattering thing,” Najib said when launching the Wanita Umno caring squad carnival at Taman Datuk Ahmad Razali in Ampang here yesterday.
