Battling cancer, teen technician student determined to change family's fate
A student at Alor Setar Vocational College, Fakhrullah first noticed prolonged fever symptoms before his condition was confirmed. Fakhrullah and his mother showing his medical report to Zuraini (right) during a visit to their home at Flat Seri Gemilang, Alor Setar. ALOR SETAR - Despite battling blood cancer for two years, 18-year-old Muhammad Fakhrullah Haziq remains determined to pursue his dream of becoming a successful air-conditioning technician and changing his family's fate. A student at Alor Setar Vocational College, Fakhrullah first noticed prolonged fever symptoms before his condition was confirmed. 'I once fainted while waiting for treatment at the Old Alor Setar Hospital three years ago and had to be rushed by ambulance to the Emergency Department at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital (HSB). 'Doctors then took a blood sample and confirmed that I had blood cancer,' he said at his home in Flat Seri Gemilang. Fakhrullah (second from right) aspires to become a successful air-conditioning technician and change his family's circumstances one day. The illness forced him to take a year-long break from his studies to focus on chemotherapy. He has since returned to continue his education in the field he loves. His mother, Hasmidar Hassan, 44, has been his sole caretaker since the passing of her husband. 'Every three months, he undergoes a bone marrow examination at the hospital. I only earn an income by taking sewing orders and the earnings are very inconsistent,' she said. She added that they rely heavily on monthly aid of RM500 from the Kedah State Zakat Board (LZNK) to cover basic expenses including rent, groceries and transportation to the hospital. Hasmidar's eldest child, now married and residing in Kuala Lumpur, helps as much as she can but is unable to be physically present to assist during Fakhrullah's treatments. 'Fakhrullah's sister lives in Kuala Lumpur and helps as much as she can. Actually, clothing orders for sewing have also decreased recently, which has affected my income. 'Thankfully, we receive monthly assistance from LZNK, which has somewhat helped support the two of us,' she said. Cancer Survivors Malaysia (CSM) Chairperson, Zuraini Kamal, visited the family and presented a donation. She urged the public to come forward and lend support. More Like This

Over 200 participants went through five phases of screening. Ten finalists were selected for the final pitching round and to attend the award ceremony. WBS said the finalists presented business plans in fields such as food, early childhood education, beauty spas, handicrafts, education technology and pet care products. They were evaluated by judges from various agencies, including Selangor Information Technology and Digital Economy Corporation, Platform Selangor, Hijrah Foundation, Yayasan Wakaf Khadijah, and Appengage. The five winners received cash, trophies, business matching grants and opportunities for overseas industry visits in November aimed at making their businesses more competitive.

She encouraged women to explore new ideas, learn new technologies and contribute positively to their families and communities. 'Women who dare to dream and pursue their ambitions are crucial for building economic resilience not only for themselves, but also for their families and society,' she said. 'If the potential of women, who make up half of Selangor's population, is not fully honed and polished, the state's progress cannot be maximised.'
