FOR one man, a smile is worth more than gold, leading him to spend RM26,000 on dental implants to restore his wife's smile, Kosmo! Online reported.
The gesture was Mohd Yazid Ismail's way of expressing gratitude to his wife, whose teeth had weakened after years of breastfeeding their seven children.
In a Facebook post, he explained that his wife suffered brittle teeth and damaged molars, which he believed was caused by calcium deficiency.
'Many breastfeeding mothers face the same problem.
'Calcium is channelled to the baby, leaving the gums weak and the teeth prone to damage,' he wrote.
After consultations, the couple opted for implant treatment.
'Although the cost is rather high, I am willing to pay for it because it is for her well-being. To me, my wife's health and smile are priceless.
'She has sacrificed her body for our children, so it is my duty to look after her,' he added.
His post has been shared more than 2,000 times and received over 5,600 likes.
> The news portal also reported that rapper Bunga Isme is finally reaping the rewards of her hard work with the launch of her debut album Seharum Nama.
The album marks a major milestone in her career after years of releasing singles since 2019.
Bunga, whose real name is Noor Ayu Fatini Mohd Bakhari, said she had struggled to balance her studies with her singing career.
She recalled commuting nearly 100km daily between her home in Petaling Jaya and her university in Seremban.
'I also performed on weekends. I failed two subjects and nearly quit singing.
'It wasn't easy, but those experiences taught me patience and resilience,' she added.
