'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.

Klang folk urged to donate blood to address shortage
Abd Hamid (seated) has his blood pressure checked at the blood donation campaign in Klang. Free use of council halls to help HTAR meet annual target of 39,600 bags, says mayor KLANG'S Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (HTAR) is experiencing a shortage of blood supply as 800 bags are needed every month for emergency and critical treatments. HTAR Medical Department Blood Transfusion head Dr Afif Alam Faizli said the hospital needed about 3,300 blood bags each month but was only able to collect around 2,500 bags from donors. 'In a month, we collaborate with an estimated 30 private agencies and collect 2,200 to 2,500 bags, but it is below the 3,300 bags needed,' he said, during a blood donation event at Klang Royal City Council's (MBDK) hall in Bandar Bukit Raja. Dr Afif said a total of 17,598 blood bags were collected between January and July, which is still insufficient to meet HTAR's target of 39,600 bags annually. He said there was frequent shortage of some blood types, such as O negative, due to their universal compatibility in emergency situations. Blood collected at HTAR is also distributed to other government hospitals in Tanjung Karang, Banting and Shah Alam when needed, he added. Donors waiting for their health screening before donating blood. Klang mayor Datuk Abd Hamid Hussain. who launched the event, called on Klang residents to become donors to help close the shortfall. 'I urge Klangites to register as blood donors. Step forward and give blood to help save and improve lives, as new donors are needed daily to help people in emergencies,' he said. Abd Hamid said MBDK was willing to offer council halls as the venue for blood donation campaigns, free of charge. The recent campaign was organised by 99 Speed Mart Retail Holdings Bhd in collaboration with HTAR and MBDK, with 44 hospital staff including five doctors attending. A total of 800 people turned up, but only 614 were eligible to donate, mainly due to health conditions such as seasonal illnesses or fatigue from night shifts, Dr Afif said. Donors underwent a health screening which included weight, blood pressure and haemoglobin tests to ensure they were fit to donate. HTAR Clinical Services senior director Dr Pamela Sivapasthasundram said these screenings were essential to safeguard both donors and recipients.
