A SISTER’S selfless decision to donate part of her liver to save her younger sibling has become a powerful testament to familial love and sacrifice.
Nur Batrisya Edriana Muhammad Ridzuan, 21, donated her liver to her sister, Nur Aisyah Medina, eight, who suffered from a rare liver disease since infancy.
The procedure was carried out on Thursday at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) in Kuala Lumpur, Sinar Harian reported.
Both sisters are now in stable condition at the intensive care unit (ICU).
Their mother, Nur Diana Awang, 44, said doctors expect the recovery period to take between one and two weeks.
“Doctors informed us that Aisyah will need to stay in ICU for at least one to two weeks. Her condition is critical but stable.
“Batrisya is stable and conscious. For now, all we can do is wait and pray for a smooth recovery.”
> “What kind of face is that? An ‘orang minyak’ (mystical oily man) or a robber?”
That was the reaction of a woman after sharing a recording of an entity with large, protruding eyes and a frightening appearance, seen lurking among the leaves of a plant in Petaling Jaya, according to Kosmo!.
In a post on social media, she said the figure appeared to maintain an unbroken stare.
Many commenters said they were frightened and tried to identify what it could be, questioning whether it was human, an animal or something else entirely.
> For the past three years, Che Sarimah Che Soh, 60, has carried the weight of being both mother and caregiver while tending to her husband, Abdullah Ahmad, 70, who has been bedridden and is semi-conscious since suffering a stroke in Kelantan, Berita Harian reported.
“He had to be placed in a coma because his blood pressure was dangerously high and oxygen was not reaching his brain,” she said.
“No matter how difficult it is, I will remain faithful and care for my husband until the end of my life.”
