Ah Yauddin's hardship went viral after a video of him was shared on Instagram, showing how he tirelessly cared for his wife, who is wheelchair-bound due to stroke. Despite her condition, the man who is suffering from kidney disease continued selling drinks at Pasar Malam Pantai Dalam in Kuala Lumpur to support them both. What moved many even more was the fact that he had been carrying his wife up and down four flights of stairs every day in a walk-up flat with no lift. Caprice, known for using his platform to spotlight social issues, was among those who responded. He tracked down the couple and helped them relocate to a landed home, lifting the physical burden that had weighed on Ah Yauddin for years. Through his initiative, the first year of rent for the new home was fully paid off, giving the couple much-needed stability and peace of mind. But his compassion didn't stop there. Recognising the power of community, Caprice launched a crowdfunding campaign to allow the public to contribute, quickly turning one man's hardship into a shared mission of care and dignity. The response from the public was swift and heartwarming. Instagram users flooded the comments section with words of encouragement and praise. Instagram user @bellazazali wrote: 'MasyaaAllah tabarakallah. Just two days ago, I said in my heart that I hoped someone would help this uncle find a landed home. Subhanallah, the power of Allah — this uncle truly and sincerely loves his wife. Thank you so much, Caprice, for helping and using your platform so that all of us can come together to support him. This is the best content so far. Salute to you.' Another user, @ commented: 'From this uncle's story, we learn three things. First, that true love can last until paradise, InsyaAllah. Second, the importance of patience when facing trials. Third, the value of showing kindness to others. Thank you, Caprice.' User @hafizhamids also praised Caprice saying 'Allahuakbar. You made my day, Caprice. May all your efforts and kindness return to you and your family in the best of ways.' Donations began pouring in, alongside offers of help, messages of hope and expressions of unity. Caprice's gesture gave the elderly couple a fresh start in life. More than that, it sparked a wave of generosity, reminding Malaysians of the strength of compassion and the profound impact of helping others with a sincere heart.

'I won't leave her': Husband cares despite own illness
KUALA LUMPUR: "I will always love and cherish my wife," said 63‑year‑old Ah Yauddin, who remains devoted to caring for his wife despite her severe illness and his own health struggles. Behind his gentle smile, Ah Yauddin carries a heavy burden. His wife, Roslina Yusof (57), lost her left leg to diabetes and suffered a stroke during the Movement Control Order (MCO) lockdown around five years ago, which has left her immobile and unable to speak. She now relies on a wheelchair and a feeding tube. Ah Yauddin, who suffers from stage‑five kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes himself, makes no excuse. "It has never crossed my mind to leave the love of my life," he told Harian Metro at the Pantai Dalam night market stall. Each Saturday, he brings Roslina along to the night market, carrying her from their fourth‑floor flat in Pangsapuri Meru Ehsan to continue earning a living by selling drinks — and fulfilling his duty as a husband. "I love and cherish her, even though she's unwell," he said. "My greatest fulfilment is caring for her, loving her and staying by her side." Their only daughter, 21‑year‑old Siti Nur Aliah, helps daily. She has put her studies on hold to care for her mother. "I look up to my father as a role model," she said. "I haven't continued my studies because I want to help care for her." Ah Yauddin remembers when Roslina could walk, talk, run a business and prepare meals that their neighbours loved. "Now I pray every day for guidance and strength," he said. Sometimes, when he sees his wife open her eyes and look at him, he feels relief and calm. "My greatest fear is seeing her eyes closed." There are moments when he weeps, longing for the life they once shared. "One of the things I miss most is her cooking," he said softly. "As long as I have the strength, I will continue to care for her." Despite his frailty, he ensures Roslina attends all physiotherapy sessions and hospital appointments at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) in Klang. He brings her down and back up their building stairs without complaint. Roslina's condition may be dire, but the family's resilience shines through. Their deep bond underscores an unwavering love and duty in the face of adversity.
