AN 11-year-old girl, who used to be active in sports, now spends her days bedridden after being diagnosed with bone cancer, Sinar Harian reported.
Rozita Nazari said her daughter, Siti Nor Khalisah Mustaza Abdullah, complained that her legs were aching after she fell during a long-jump in January.
“At that time, I didn’t think it was serious and only applied ointment on her because she didn’t complain of significant pain.
“However, a month later, she suddenly cried and said her leg hurt very much,” the mother said.
Rozita, 47, took her daughter for an X-ray and later brought her to Hospital Tuanku Jaafar.
She was hospitalised for three weeks and was diagnosed with bone cancer on May 28.
Siti Nor Khalisah is currently seeking treatment at Hospital Tunku Azizah in Kuala Lumpur.
> Snakes having a “staycation” in a home located in Jasin have become a housewife’s worst nightmare, Kosmo! reported.
Siti Nor Hajar Bidin, 50, said she was traumatised after finding snakes in her house just a month after moving in.
“I did not expect to experience such a frightening incident right after moving in here. We had to call the Civil Defence Force three times within a month.
“In the latest incident, a black snake crawled under my child’s bed. I screamed when I saw it. Luckily, it did not bite my child.”
She suspects the problem stems from an abandoned home and unkempt bushes nearby.
“I lodged an online complaint to the Jasin Municipal Council, but there was no action. Last week, I also complained at the Jasin district office,” she added.
> Fans congratulated Bella Astillah’s son for completing a triathlon while cheekily noting that he was following in the footsteps of his “papa”, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Kosmo! Online reported.
The Muar MP is also a triathlon enthusiast and a close friend of Bella, a singer and actress.
Syed Saddiq also praised Ayden Adrean for completing the triathlon at just eight years old.
Although Ayden is not his biological child, Syed Saddiq has been seen as constantly providing support to Bella’s children.
