KUALA LUMPUR: In conjunction with Mother’s Day on Sunday (May 8), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) has reminded Malaysians to shower their mothers with love while they are still around.
In a Mother's Day post on Facebook, he said a mother’s sacrifice cannot be repaid, while love and attention are a soothing balm for a heart full of longing.
"The hand that rocks the cradle can shake the world. That is how great a mother’s role is in shaping the life of a child to become a useful human being who can contribute to the development of the country,” he said.
Ismail Sabri also recalled his late mother, Wan Jah Wan Mamat, who guided him to become a capable person.
He said his mother had helped a lot in shaping his life so that he would be a person devoted to serving the entire Malaysian Family, and had also guided him and his siblings with great love.
"We, the children of the village, lacked many things and it was Mother who made everything perfect and kept us happy in her own way... the gentleness and sincerity of our late mother in bringing us up with such patience.
"Thank you, Mother, for all your sacrifices ... which I as your son am unable to repay,” he wrote. – Bernama
