Influencer Yang Baobei Mourns The Death Of Her Mother From Terminal Cancer
Yang Baobei shared the news on 23rd July 2025 (Wednesday) through her social media account. The post included a photo of the influencer kissing her ailing mother on the cheek. In the captions, Yang Baobei wrote, 'Just over a week back home from the hospital, Mom has left us forever.' The social media personality previously revealed that her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer earlier this year, amidst deteriorating health.
In her captions, Yang Baobei revealed the pain her mother went through since her diagnosis, writing 'In just half a year, from being able to walk to being unable to walk, from being able to sit to only being able to lie down, received countless injections, took countless medicines, and suffered from illness.' Despite that, the public figure said she felt blessed that she could accompany her mother during her final days and until she is no longer in pain, adding that she has no regrets.
However, Yang Baobei still couldn't hide her sadness, ending her post, 'But I still miss the food you cook, the movies I watched with you, and the walk with the dog. I will always miss you, always love you. Goodbye, mom.' The influencer never revealed what cancer her mother had. However, in a previous post, she explained that her mother had suffered from foot pain for half a year. After an MRI scan in May, the family found out that she had terminal cancer.
Friends and followers took to the comments to extend their condolences and share words of support for Yang Baobei. Singer Nick Chung and DJ Leng Yein are amongst those who sent in their condolences. Some also hope the content creator will take care of herself during this difficult time. Meanwhile, Yang Baobei also shared details for her mother's funeral service, which will begin today and end on Saturday.
We also extend our condolences to Yang Baobei and her family. May they find solace during this difficult time.

New medical innovations to address rising cancer burden in Malaysia
The Hospital Picaso medical team is showcasing a cutting-edge, minimally invasive therapy for patients with prostate cancer. Prostate, pancreatic and liver cancers remain among the most pressing health challenges in Malaysia, with late-stage diagnoses continuing to impact patient outcomes. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting Malaysian men, with many cases detected only at advanced stages. Liver cancer is also one of the most common cancers among Malaysians, while pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest due to late detection and limited treatment options. In Petaling Jaya, Hospital Picaso – a dedicated centre of excellence for advanced surgery and integrated oncology – is responding to these challenges with next-generation treatment options. It is the leading hospital in Malaysia to offer Irreversible Electroporation (IRE), a non-thermal ablation technique that targets cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This innovation represents a significant advancement in prostate cancer care, giving patients more precise options with fewer long-term complications. 'This technique gives us a targeted way to treat prostate cancer, while reducing damage to surrounding structures,' said Hospital Picaso consultant urologist Datuk Dr Loh Chit Sin. 'This treatment can help patients to retain urinary continence and preserve erectile dysfunction. 'These outcomes address two of the biggest concerns men face – maintaining quality of life while seeking effective care.' Known as Irreversible Electroporation (IRE), this technique utilises high-voltage electrical pulses to destroy cancer cells without the use of heat. This method allows treatment near delicate structures, such as nerves, ducts and blood vessels, making it suitable for tumours in the prostate as well as liver, pancreas and kidneys. It reflects a more personalised approach to cancer care that supports both survival and post-treatment well-being. Building on this advancement, Hospital Picaso is also introducing the Electrochemotherapy (ECT), further expanding its interventional oncology capabilities. ECT combines short electrical pulses with localised chemotherapy to enhance drug absorption directly into tumour cells. It is particularly effective for difficult-to-access or previously unresponsive tumours in the liver and pancreas. By concentrating treatment where it's needed most, while limiting systemic side effects, ECT offers new hope to patients with limited options. New technologies are expanding what's possible but early detection is still key to better outcomes. 'When we detect prostate, pancreatic or liver cancer early, we're able to offer options that are less invasive and more targeted,' said Dr Loh. 'With techniques like Irreversible Electroporation and Electrochemotherapy, we're not just treating the disease – we're giving patients more control over their treatment journey.' At Hospital Picaso, these innovations represent more than medical advancement. They mark a shift in how cancer care is delivered – giving patients better options, making treatments more precise and helping people live more fully during and after recovery.

Doctor fosters patriotic fashion trend in hospitals
A Malaysian doctor seeking a practical and patriotic way to dress at work has started a quiet fashion trend by producing a range of hospital-compliant scrubs for healthcare employees. Dr Nisha Puvan, who works in a government hospital in Kuala Lumpur, said it started as a passion project. 'Wearing vibrant (batik) prints lifted my spirits and created a positive effect on my colleagues and patients,' she told Bernama. She founded clothing brand craftbynishapuvan which she runs from Subang Jaya, Selangor. She said the idea took off during the Covid-19 movement control order in 2020 when she began making batik face masks. In August 2023, when the Public Service Department issued a directive requiring civil servants, including doctors in public hospitals, to wear batik every Thursday, Dr Nisha decided to create batik scrubs for hospital staff. To make sure the batik attire would not compromise on practicality and hygiene, she carried out research and tested fabrics that met infection-control standards to ensure they remained breathable, durable and colourfast. 'The scrubs had to be short-sleeved, free from embellishments that could potentially harbour bacteria and withstand frequent washing. 'I wore them daily – tweaking pocket sizes, material thickness and even testing how colours held up over time,' she said. The scrubs, she said, were made from cotton-blend fabrics adorned with batik prints, handcrafted by local artisans using traditional techniques. For Dr Nisha, functionality is key. 'Doctors are constantly on the move – from clinics to wards to emergency rooms – and we carry many items,' said the internal medicine specialist with a special interest in gastroenterology. 'So, I designed (scrubs with) large pockets and added tailored features without compromising style.' Today, her scrubs are being worn by many doctors working in government and private hospitals and at private practices nationwide. While she currently receives bulk orders from certain departments of government hospitals, Dr Nisha has expressed a desire to collaborate with the Health Ministry to supply batik scrubs to public hospitals on a larger scale. She said some district hospitals ordered scrubs in specific colours – such as blue for Mondays and green for Tuesdays. Her client base also included Malaysian professionals working abroad, particularly in the United Kingdom and Australia. 'It is mostly Malaysians abroad who want to wear something that connects them to home. 'Batik gives them a sense of pride in being Malaysian.' Dr Nisha manages her business on her own – from handling her social media accounts and taking orders to quality control and packaging. 'It is a one-woman show. I have a couple of tailors, but I do everything else,' she said, adding that her four-year-old twin daughters were also involved in the creative process. 'If a print is not attractive, they will say so. It is my way of introducing them to their Malaysian heritage.' Apart from scrubs, the brand also offers customised batik sarees, cheongsam, baju melayu, lehenga and coordinated family sets. 'We cater to all body types,' Dr Nisha said, adding that some families chose a single signature batik print and would request different styles to be made, such as a cheongsam for mum, Mandarin-collared shirt for dad and matching outfits for the children. Recognising the need for modest wear among Muslim doctors, the brand is expanding its range of scrubs to include adjustable sleeves, longer tunics and higher necklines. Sustainability is also a priority, with craftbynishapuvan using deadstock fabrics – leftover materials from larger productions – to reduce waste. Dr Nisha attends to her business after working hours, often packaging orders at night while her children are asleep. 'When I am at work, I stay fully focused on my patients. 'Craft comes after-hours... it is how I unwind and recalibrate.' Referring to her batik scrubs, she said: 'This is my form of patriotism. A quiet pride. 'We may not realise it, but even what we wear can carry our identity, dignity and culture into places that feel cold and clinical. 'Every time I see a doctor in batik scrubs, not just in my hospital but any other place, it reminds me that the Malaysian heritage is alive, adaptable and proudly worn.'

‘Uncle Kentang's' Dying Mother Appeal, Good Samaritan Pledges 50 Free Birthday Cakes
Subscribe to our FREE What began as a simple request to help a terminally ill mother celebrate her final birthday has snowballed into a wave of generosity, with Malaysians offering everything from restaurant sponsorships to free birthday cakes for cancer patients. Malaysian philanthropist Kuan Chee Heng, known as 'Uncle Kentang,' made an emotional Facebook appeal on 2 August, seeking restaurant sponsors for a stage 4 cancer patient's final birthday celebration with her teenage son. 'Any restaurant or cafe can sponsor a mother's last birthday celebration with her only child, a teenager?' he wrote, emphasising that this was probably their last birthday together in his appeal for the community to make it a memorable one. The post, which attracted numerous reactions from people and garnered hundreds of comments and shares, specified flexible requirements: any food establishment, from restaurants to roadside stalls, could help, with both halal and non-halal options being acceptable. Kuan told TRP that a restaurant in Taman Bamboo in Kuala Lumpur, which had offered to sponsor, had since been selected. Community Response Grows Beyond Expectations The heartfelt appeal triggered an unexpected chain reaction of generosity that extended far beyond the original request. Following the overwhelming response, Uncle Kentang announced a broader initiative today (4 August) to provide free birthday cakes to cancer patients at five major hospitals in the Klang Valley: Institut Kanser Negara, University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Ampang Hospital, Kuala Lumpur Hospital, and Klang Hospital. 'We are supporters of cancer fighters,' Uncle Kentang wrote, acknowledging that while some patients may not be able to consume the cakes due to their medical condition, the gesture allows families and children to celebrate together during difficult times. The initiative quickly caught the attention of a generous Malaysian who contacted Uncle Kentang via WhatsApp with a substantial offer. I think going forward, there will be more last meal celebrations for terminal-stage cancer patients. I'm willing to sponsor 50 birthday cakes for the next 50 celebrations. The anonymous sponsor, also based in the Klang Valley, requested coordination details, including dates, names for cake inscriptions, venues, and preferred flavours, to arrange the deliveries. How The Community Can Help Cancer patients and their families can contact Uncle Kentang at 018-2683999 to coordinate cake deliveries anywhere within the Klang Valley at no cost. Restaurant owners interested in sponsoring the original mother's birthday celebration can also reach out through the same number. Uncle Kentang positioned the growing movement as part of Malaysia's Independence Day spirit, writing: 'Let's go crazy and enliven Malaysia as we approach Merdeka Day. Only at Uncle Kentang, everyone becomes crazy good.' What started as a plea to help one dying mother celebrate her birthday has evolved into a broader support network for cancer patients and their families, demonstrating how individual acts of kindness can inspire widespread community generosity during Malaysia's most challenging medical battles. The spontaneous expansion from a single birthday request to a pledge of 50 sponsored celebrations shows how social media can amplify charitable initiatives and connect those in need with willing supporters across the community.
