TYT pays tribute to fathers' sacrifices in Father's Day message
Father's Day greetings from Wan Junaidi and Fauziah posted on the Yang di-Pertua Negeri's official Facebook page.
KUCHING (June 14): Sarawak's Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Pehin Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, in his Father's Day message, called on all Sarawakians not to forget the services and sacrifices of their fathers.
'Father's Day, which is also celebrated in Malaysia including Sarawak, is an opportunity for us to appreciate and recognises the important role played by fathers in shaping families and society. A father is not just a breadwinner, but also a protector, guide, shaper of values and morals, and a source of inspiration and the main role-model for the formation of character, spirit and the attitude of their children,' he said.
He pointed out that fathers shoulder a heavy responsibility as the head of the family, ensuring the well-being, safety, and future of their children are always protected.
'Appreciate them as long as they are alive, express your appreciation, and continue the legacy of noble values that have been instilled by them. To those who have lost their fathers, send prayers to them and give alms as a sign of our lasting love,' he said.
Although a father's love is rarely expressed verbally, Wan Junaidi said every drop of sweat and every effort made is proof of their endless love for the well-being of the family.
He also said behind every successful family, stands a father who fights tirelessly – both in the countryside and in the city, from various backgrounds and occupations.
'Fathers teach us about responsibility, patience, perseverance and strength. His advice becomes a guide for life, while his firmness shapes our personality and resilience in facing challenges. Therefore, on this special day, Toh Puan Datuk Patinggi Fauziah Mohd Sanusi and I record our highest appreciation and gratitude to all fathers for all the services and sacrifices they make without expecting anything in return,' he said.

INTERACTIVE: Young fathers on the rise in Malaysia
PETALING JAYA: They're in their early twenties — some fresh out of school — but more young men in Malaysia are becoming fathers, with the data showing an 8% spike in dads aged 24 and below. The number of newborn babies with fathers in such a young age group kept increasing - from 25,707 in 2021 to 27,798 in 2023, based on data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia. Unplanned pregnancies aside, experts say other reasons for this trend are youths having a change in mindset on family life and financial stability, influence from social media, as well as religious and cultural factors. 'While some pregnancies are unplanned, others are intentional. 'Many couples now choose to complete their families early to enjoy greater freedom and improved quality of life during their 40s and retirement years,' said Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society of Malaysia (OGSM) honorary secretary Dr Loh Huey Wen. Below is a view of the trend which has kept growing since 2021: Calling it a significant shift, Dr Loh said social media has played a powerful role in reshaping perceptions of youths. "Social media often features young parents sharing glimpses into family life, portraying parenthood as rewarding. 'Another contributing factor could be the evolving concept of financial stability. 'Unlike previous generations, many young men today may receive substantial support from their families — whether in the form of housing, childcare or direct financial aid. 'This results in a greater sense of security,' she said when contacted ahead of Father's Day today (June 15). As a result, owning a home or reaching a certain income level, may no longer be prerequisites for starting a family, said Dr Loh, who is a consultant obstetrician, gynaecologist and fertility specialist. Better Dads Malaysia (BDM) co-founder and advisor Jason Leong said a study in 2023 showed that some early marriages correlated with traditional expectations around starting a family young. 'Religious or cultural motivations or family child raising arrangements can influence family planning. 'We know of young couples who believe that it is easier for them to have children early, especially when they can let their own parents or in-laws who are still fairly strong and healthy to help look after their children,' said Leong. As such, early fatherhood is not necessarily accidental but a conscious life choice rooted in values involving family, convenience and legacy. Where are Malaysia's young dads? Most states and territories in Malaysia, or 10 out of 16, showed an uptick in fresh faced dads from 2021 to 2023. Selangor recorded the highest number of babies born to fathers aged 24 and below in 2023 with 3,974 newborns. This is followed by Sabah with 3,683 and Johor with 3,302. Only six states showed either a decline or unclear trends from 2021 to 2023. The six states are Perak, Kelantan, Pahang, Terengganu, Labuan and Putrajaya. You can view the trend in your state by clicking on the dropbox in the graph below: However, Sarawak was the state with the highest proportion of babies born to young dads out of the total number of newborns there. About 8.7% of the babies in the state had fathers aged 24 and below in 2023, followed by Sabah with 7.9%, and Perlis with 7.7%. Here's a closer look at the percentages for each state and territory: At BDM, Leong said the non-profit organisation received a 'modest but clear increase' in younger fathers reaching out through its digital platforms and attendance in its awareness talks in schools. 'There are young fathers and even young, single men participating in our fathering workshops. 'To us, this is a good development as their interest shows that they want to learn and prepare early for fatherhood,' he added. Across ethnic groups, young fathers were most prevalent among the non-Malay Bumiputras. Men aged 24 and below made up 10% of the fathers to newborn babies within the community in 2023. Among the Malay community, such young fathers comprised 6%, followed by Indians at 5% and Chinese at 3%. While men aged 24 and below made up 6.1% of the total Malaysian fathers in 2023, the majority of dads in the country were in their early 30s. Of the total 455,761 newborn babies in 2023, some 30.6% had fathers aged between 30 and 34. This is followed by youths aged 25 to 29 who comprised 24.4% of the total. Below is an age breakdown of fathers in 2023: The good and bad of young fatherhood The rise of young fathers in Malaysia comes with both its benefits and challenges. Aside from financial constraints, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Datuk Dr NKS Tharmaseelan said another challenge young fathers may face is the lack of quality time with their family. 'If both parents are working, quality time with children is at a premium. 'Looking into children's wants may also be a stress factor to an already stressed household. "Maturity, wisdom, and adaptation come with age,' he said. Nevertheless, being a young fathers has its perks too. For one, Dr Tharmaseelan said the narrower age gap allows for much easier bonding. 'Young parents will generally be able to relate to their kids more fruitfully. 'They sync better both physically, mentally and with their needs and wants, creating the possibility of a much closer relationship,' he said. Leong said young fathers also benefit from having higher energy and adaptability. 'Young fathers often engage more physically and actively with their children, and adapt faster to new parenting knowledge or digital tools,' he said. From a public health aspect, Dr Loh said fatherhood at a younger age can help to address the national decline in fertility rates. 'A man's age plays a significant role—research shows that men over 40 are more likely to have reduced sperm quality. 'There's also an increased risk of passing on genetic mutations and certain rare genetic disorders,' she said. Reduced fertility among males is also on the rise, with growing evidence pointing to declines in sperm quality due to factors like lifestyle, stress, and environmental exposures, Dr Loh added. However, younger men are not immune to fertility issues either. 'Poor lifestyle habits such as smoking, heavy drinking, poor diet, drug use, and lack of exercise can harm sperm quality even in men in their 20s and 30s,' she said. Conditions like obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure, as well as exposure to heat or harmful chemicals, can also affect sperm health and increase the risk of miscarriage or complications during pregnancy. 'It is essential that men of all ages take responsibility for their health before trying to conceive. 'Simple steps like maintaining a healthy weight, eating well, avoiding harmful substances, and managing stress and chronic illness can make a significant difference - not just for fertility, but for the long-term health of their children,' she added. Dr Tharmaseelan said studies show that men over 45 face a 14% decrease in fertility rates each year, making it progressively difficult to conceive naturally. He said although there were occasional sensational reported cases of celebrities having fathered children like actor Al Pacino in his 80s, this was not the norm. 'Men should know the challenges of delaying fatherhood. 'You may not live long enough to see your child reach adulthood or even be able to spend quality time with them. 'Supporting them too becomes difficult as you may be unemployed by the time they reach school-going age,' Dr Tharmaseelan added. Helping young dads cope To better support young fathers and families in general, more measures could be taken to help them. Leong said BDM suggests that Malaysia's current paternity leave of seven days be extended to at least 14 days. 'There should also be corporate tax deductions or incentives for companies that promote father-friendly or family-friendly policies. 'This can include companies that conduct fathering workshops for their employees,' he said, adding that child support allowances could also be extended to lower-income young fathers. Concurring, Dr Loh said measures like extended, paid paternity leave can encourage early bonding and shared parenting. 'Guidance and support can be provided by the formation of father-focused workshops and support groups. 'Flexible work policies can provide opportunities for fathers to be more present at home,' she said, adding that financial incentives such as tax relief and childcare subsidies can ease the pressure of early parenthood. The increase in young fathers also highlighted the importance of equipping these young men with specific fathering skills for nurturing and leading, said Leong. 'Fathers must know that they can be physically present but yet emotionally absent in their children's lives,' he said. Leong said young fathers should be supported through policy, education and mentoring so that there will be healthier families and by extension, a more resilient nation.

Taking an early leap into fatherhood
PETALING JAYA: At a time when it's common to delay marriage and kids, some men have gone against the grain, choosing to start their family early as they view fatherhood as a blessing in life. Welcoming his baby daughter at 24, Mu'aadz Emran said it was always in his plans to graduate, then marry and start his own family at a young age. 'Some believe they will wait until they are ready or more financially stable to have kids, but at what point do we decide that we are ready enough? 'For me, if we have a suitable and supportive partner, I believe one should just go along the parenting journey and face challenges that come along the way together,' said the sales executive, now aged 26. Mu'aadz and his wife Adilah Abdul Azmil with their two-year-old daughter Yusra As with other parents, Mu'aadz sometimes faces challenges in juggling his duties at home and work. 'For now, I'm the sole breadwinner so we have to adjust our lifestyle according to our means. 'But there are ways to make it work,' he said. Mu'aadz is part of the growing number of young fathers in Malaysia over recent years. Data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia has shown that there has been an 8% spike in newborn babies with fathers aged 24 and below - from 25,707 in 2021 to 27,798 in 2023. Marketing executive Yusuf Zamani also had similar plans to start a family early, embracing fatherhood at 25 when his wife delivered a baby boy. Yusuf and his wife Nurul Shahizan Rudzuanazmi and their children Ya'qub, three, and five-month-old Yusra 'Building a family, to me, is a big thing in life, just like pursuing a dream career. 'My family is my main motivator to keep achieving more success. 'Of course, I struggle sometimes trying to cope with work, family life and my volunteering activities at an NGO. 'I can still do everything, but we have to give and take. That's just life,' said the marketing executive, now 28 and a father of two. Father of three girls, Chong Hua Chean was 26 when his eldest daughter was born. Now at 37, he believes that being a dad has shifted his priorities towards family life, giving him a more grounded mindset. 'I feel grateful to be a young father, as it gives me the opportunity to spend more quality time with my children and to be present for more of life's journey with each of my daughters,' said Chong, a manager at a multinational company. Chong and his wife Christine Tan (second from right), with their daughters (from left) Qaai Naa, seven, Qaai Niing, four and Qaai Nee, 12 One of the most heartwarming moments Chong treasures was when his daughter prepared a Father's Day card and gift for him. 'To all new and young fathers: there's no such thing as a perfect parent. 'Don't be too hard on yourself or your children. 'Embrace the journey, cherish the moments, and value the time spent with your loved ones,' he added. Father-to-be, Muhammad Faris Idris, 29, believes that becoming a dad is one of the most meaningful experiences in life. 'I'm excited and grateful to take on this role and grow into it with love and responsibility,' said the bank senior executive analyst, who will be expecting his first child this year. Getting hitched at the age of 24, he and his wife have been trying to start a family for several years before finally being blessed with a child. Ahead of his baby's arrival, Muhammad Faris said he has been preparing himself by buying all necessary items, attending parenting classes, reading and learning about fatherhood. 'I'm also managing my finances wisely, making sure we have the right medical coverage and savings in case of emergencies,' he said. Father of two, Siemens Yee said he has been 'catching his breath' ever since he became a dad at 28. 'I've got two boys — full of energy and questions,' said the finance controller, now 34, whose sons are six and four. Yee said he planned to retire early and give his children the best of his time and energy while he was still relatively young. 'Being around as they grow up — fully present — means everything to me,' he added. Yee and his wife Xindi Yong with their two boys, Wyatt, six (second from left) and Elliot, four (right). It wasn't always easy, but Yee said he was blessed to have a loving and supportive wife, and was grateful for the incredible help from their extended family. He said the best part about starting a family early is the bond his children are building with their grandparents. 'There's something magical about seeing your kids laugh with your parents,' he said. Another soon-to-be father, who wishes to be known only as Affzan, 29, said he and his wife were very excited about their journey ahead with their baby expected to be born this year. "Currently, we are trying our best to grow our finances as much as possible,' said the occupation project analyst. As he waits to become a dad, Affzan said he was preparing himself spiritually, mentally and physically. 'I need to set a good example and be the best role model for our child,' he said. For this Father's Day, he said the plan was to pamper his wife instead. 'Without her, I wouldn't be a husband nor a father-to-be, so I will be cooking a nice dinner at home to show what a good father I can become,' Affzan said. A father of two who wishes to be known only as Ben, 32 said parenting isn't about providing for the kids financially, but about being present and guiding them through life. 'These things can only happen when you invest a lot of time together, and starting young gives me that opportunity,' said the product manager, who became a dad at 26. He shared that as a father, there was a fear of messing up. 'Being a young dad while still figuring out my own adulthood isn't easy,' he said. Since children learn more by watching their parents' actions, Ben said he tries to be honest, humble, and willing to grow. 'I want to show them it's okay to make mistakes, as long as we keep moving further upwards and onwards,' he said, adding that his wife also played a crucial role as the anchor in their family.

Father's Day durian feast in Seri Delima
GEORGE TOWN: What better way to celebrate early Father's Day than to get your hands on all-Malaysian favourite fruit - durians! Approximately one hundred people in Seri Delima gathered at the morning market on Saturday (June 14) for the durian feast, enjoying varieties such as Musang King, Red Prawn, Capri, Green Skin and Hor Lor. All the durians came from an organic farm in Balik Pulau. Among those enjoying the fruits was civil servant Mohd Faiz Mohd Hassan, 32. "Durians are my favourite fruit. But when you buy them yourself, you can't really sample many varieties in one go unless you spend a lot. "Events like this are great because you can have a little bit of everything," explained the father of three school-aged children. Teh Liang Teik, 75, the former chairman of the Island Glades village community management council, who was fond of a good Black Thorn, echoed those sentiments. He also has three children, all of whom are grown up and have their own families. They often enjoy durian feasts together. "Such occasions are good for community bonding. Enjoying durians by yourself is nice, but enjoying it with your neighbours and friends is so much better," Teh opined. Former neighbourhood watch chairman Eddie Lim, 81, was fascinated by a large local durian cultivar nicknamed "Khoong Loong" (which is Hokkien for dinosaur) that the vendor served. One bite was enough to reveal creamy and bittersweet notes, which he immediately approved of and recommended to his wife. "I've been attending such durian parties every year for as long as I can remember. It's something we all look forward to," shared Lim, who has two adult children living abroad. The event was hosted by assemblyman Connie Tan to express gratitude to everyone for their tireless contributions to the neighbourhood and community. "We have very dedicated pillars of society here who work hard all year round to make Seri Delima a thriving place in Penang. "Most Malaysians love the King of Fruits. And with it being in season, there was no better way to express our appreciation. "This being Father's Day weekend made it all the more meaningful since many attending today are also fathers themselves," Tan shared at the session.
