A Queen who cares for all

Freshly plucked: Loh presenting some eggplants from his garden as gratitude to Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah when she visited him and his wife at their home in Pontian.

PONTIAN: Loh Chai Hwee and his wife Tey Be Yok are an impoverished, elderly couple living in a small house in Kampung Api Api here, but they will always remember the day the Queen herself stepped into their home.

All they had was vegetable produce from their garden and they presented Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, with some eggplants and vegetables when she visited them several months ago.
