Kuching mother of four receives aid from Hope Place after surgery, job loss
KUCHING (Aug 1): A 34-year-old mother of four is receiving basic food aid from Hope Place Kuching as she continues to recover from a recent surgery and remains jobless.
Noor Elnisa Hasbi, who lives in Kampung Tabuan Melayu, sought help from the non-profit organisation after becoming financially dependent on her 67-year-old mother, a pensioner, to support herself and her children aged 12 to 17.
'Noor Elnisa underwent surgery in June after experiencing breathing difficulties during jogging last year.
'She was later diagnosed with thyroid after being rushed to the hospital with abdominal pain,' Hope Place said in a statement yesterday.
Before her health deteriorated, Noor Elnisa ran a small business selling salted fish, locally known as 'pais'. However, her health issue has forced her to stop working, placing the family in a financial hardship.
Despite their struggles, Noor Elnisa proudly shared that all four of her children are talented in Muay Thai martial arts, having participated in numerous competitions and won many medals.
Hope Place extends appreciation to donors who make such support possible and encourages further contributions to help families like Noor Elnisa's.

Hartal Doktor Kontrak renews call to end bullying culture in public healthcare
Published on: Monday, August 04, 2025 Published on: Mon, Aug 04, 2025 Text Size: Stills from the video. KOTA KINABALU: A medical pressure group has recently revealed that a trainee doctor at a hospital in Tawau suffered severe mental health issues after enduring prolonged workplace bullying. According to Hartal Doktor Kontrak (HDK), the junior doctor was repeatedly targeted by the same senior colleague during his or her housemanship. The group claimed that the situation left the doctor deeply depressed and isolated, confined to his or her room for years and unable to return to the medical field. In a Facebook post, HDK shared a video showing the condition of the doctor's room, which they say reflects the long-term impact of the trauma he experienced. HDK said the junior doctor's case is one of many stories they have gathered since launching their #stopworkplacebullying campaign three years ago. They noted that some healthcare workers have suffered such extreme distress from workplace bullying that they contemplated suicide. The Health Ministry had since set up a special task force – HWCITF – to investigate workplace bullying and recommend improvements, with HDK invited to contribute input. HDK voiced support for Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad's planned launch of anti-bullying guidelines for public hospitals and clinics this October. The group said they hoped such policies would help create safer, more respectful workplaces not just within the Health Ministry, but across all sectors. Netizens reacting to the post shared sympathy for the victim and raised concerns about hospital management practices and workplace culture. In their post, the group also offered an apology to Dr S and other victims it was unable to assist earlier, saying it hoped for lasting change in all sectors. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
