PETALING JAYA: Mickey is no mouse. Instead, he will fight like a lion, says Faisal Halim’s father Abdul Halim Saad. The father of the acid attack victim now wants his son to stay even more determined and come back stronger.

Opening up to the press four days after the acid attack at a shopping mall in Damansara on May 5, Halim said he has accepted what happened to his son and believes the episode would only make his fourth child out of five stronger.
