IN the midst of the current global upheaval caused by trade wars and internal fighting, I decided to switch off temporarily from the upsetting news around us. I decided to take a break and join many diplomats last Sunday for the usual networking during a rather noisy buka puasa with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the Foreign Ministry in Putrajaya.

But that did not stop me from checking out my social media feed, and one person that caught my attention this week – and I’m sure that of thousands of others – is Nariah Ahmad, a 75-year-old grandmother living up north who has gone viral with her rather adorable TikTok videos.
