ROHANA Abdullah and Chee Hoi Lan stood out from the rest of the crowd of eager students and parents who turned up at the Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) registration session on Monday. The former stateless child and spinster Chee, 83, who adopted her when she was two months old, were well recognised there.

It was another amazing episode in their story, which has touched the hearts of Malaysians since Harian Metro highlighted it in January.
