You may have spotted them in fashion campaigns or on runways looking all fabulous. But behind the glitz and glamour, they are just like us – some are mothers, or just mama’s girl (or boy). To celebrate the upcoming Mothers Day, we round up the messages from five very recognisable Malaysian models.

Amber Chia

“Becoming a mother made me realise that I can do almost anything, even though it is not an easy job. All mothers are superwomen and I would like to wish Happy Mothers Day to all the amazing mums in the world!”

Tuti Noor

“To my dearest most beautiful woman in my life, mak. Terima kasih, mak. Thank you for all the sacrifices, patience and guidance to live this life gracefully, and thank you for the purest love I’ll ever know. Thank you for reminding me that it’s OK to fail, because that’s how you’ll grow, and it’s OK to cry because that’s how you’ll feel better and it’s OK to dream big because the dream world can become a reality... and thank you for all the years of advice I should have listened to. Mum knows best, indeed.”

Melissa Tan

“All the unseen things you do that often go without thanks, keep the world moving and keep us thriving. To all the mothers, whether biological or an invaluable mother figure to someone who needs you, we love and appreciate you. We couldn’t do it without you.”

Haikal Hazman

“Mama, no words could express my gratitude for having you as my mum. You’re the biggest part of all those loving memories. Your endless love, countless teachings on various aspects of life; I will never get it anywhere else. I’m one lucky person. To my beloved mum and all mothers out there; we’re thinking of you. Thank you so much.”

Sheena Liam

“Beyond celebrating all mothers out there I would like to wish Happy Mothers Day to my mother, Betty Ng. Thanks for the many years of guidance and inspiration through example. If there was one woman who could do it all, it was always you. I love you.”
