Melaka chief minister pays tribute to late father on Father's Day
MELAKA: The Melaka Chief Minister pays tribute to his late father, Yusoh bin Mohd, in conjunction with Father's Day, describing him as the "Captain" of his life who shaped his journey and values.
"I will remember him for the rest of my life for his unwavering devotion to my siblings and me," said Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh in a message to The Star on Sunday (June 15).
He said Father's Day is a meaningful occasion to honour the heroes who play a vital role in shaping families and society.
Ab Rauf said a father's role goes beyond providing for the household.
"He is also a leader, protector, and mentor to his children. This year the state government has chosen the theme, 'Ayahku Kapten Keluarga' (My Father, the Captain of the Family) as a Father's Day celebration," he said.
He noted that the theme reflects the steadfastness and resilience of fathers in steering their families through life's joys and challenges.
"I wish all fathers in Melaka, across Malaysia, and around the world a heartfelt Happy Father's Day. Let us continue to cherish and emulate a father's strength, love, and leadership," he added.
