Police couple sells family car to pay for premature son's treatment


IPOH: Mahmud Talib had to give up his car so his premature son could grow up like a normal baby.

The 32-year-old police officer, who works at the General Operations Force camp in Ulu Kinta, said he decided to take this drastic step as he was struggling financially in the first three months after his wife, Suraya Mohd Ismail, 32, gave birth to their first child, Mikail Anaqi, on Jan 15, 2020.
