WHAT was meant to be a joyful wedding became a farewell when the mother of the bride’s wish to wear white at the ceremony turned into a final sign of separation, Sinar Harian reported.
On the day of Nurul Hazwani Alias’ wedding, her mother Jewayah Tajally, 70, who was battling with pancreatic cancer, passed away in her sleep.
“I bought green clothes according to the theme of the event for my mother and siblings. But my mother said she just wanted to wear white,” she said.
Nurul Hazwani said at that moment, she did not think her mother’s choice to wear white had a much deeper meaning.
“When I got married, my mother’s body was in front of me. I believe her spirit was with me, watching me get married.”
> A three-metre-long 70kg python was captured near a resident’s home in Bandar Baharu, Kedah, after it reportedly snatched chickens from a coop in the middle of the night, Harian Metro reported.
The python was discovered when screeching chickens alerted a resident, who then contacted the Malaysian Civil Defence Force.
Its district officer Abdul Rahim Khairuddin said the snake was handed over to the Wildlife Protection and National Parks Department.
“Snakes tend to leave their habitats to seek shelter, especially in people’s homes, during hot weather seasons,” he said.
