To Sangeeta Retnakumar, 12, a Malaysian figure skater and student: “Mother is the one who teaches us right from wrong, good from bad, and are special because they work round the clock without any complaints to keep us (children) happy.”

Sangeeta, who has not only represented Malaysia in figure skating tournaments in Asia but also won first place in many of them, believes that part of her success in the world of competitive figure skating is having a mother who believes in and is willing to support her.
