WHEN homemaker Norela Abdul Rahim wanted to expand her bahulu gulung business, she made it a point to hire only mothers to assist her in making the popular roll cake.

Why mothers? “Not only are mothers hardworking but they can also perform difficult and challenging tasks efficiently,” she replied, adding that, “If we observe our mothers cooking in the kitchen, we can see how quickly and effectively they go about their work.”
