KOTA KINABALU: All Abu Sabir Abdullah wanted was to grant his younger brother’s wish - to replace his broken mobile phone with a new one.

On Friday (Jan 20), he quickly made his way home from where he worked in the northern Kota Belud district, some 70km away, to his village Kampung Delima in Manggatal near here to surprise 15-year-old Abdul Rahman Mohd Said with a brand new phone, just in time for Chinese New Year.
