To 11-year-old Michael Gabriel Muthuraman, his father Murphy Muthuraman Muniandy is “his hero”.

“He’s always there to provide for our needs. Daddy gives us pocket money every day. And he’s there to guide us. He helps me with my studies and teaches me science, mathematics and technology,” says the youngest of Murphy’s three sons.
