BALIK PULAU: It’s Mothers’ Day but there is no rest or celebration for Hasiah Hassan.
The tough lady is the sole breadwinner for her family after her husband, pensioner Suhaimi Osman, 57, had a stroke six years ago. For the 57-year-old, a day’s work means working as a grass cutter before tending to a herd of cows. She also works in the rice fields and rolls tobacco leaves for sale at RM1.50 per stick.
