TYT pays tribute to fathers' sacrifices in Father's Day message
Father's Day greetings from Wan Junaidi and Fauziah posted on the Yang di-Pertua Negeri's official Facebook page.
KUCHING (June 14): Sarawak's Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Pehin Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, in his Father's Day message, called on all Sarawakians not to forget the services and sacrifices of their fathers.
'Father's Day, which is also celebrated in Malaysia including Sarawak, is an opportunity for us to appreciate and recognises the important role played by fathers in shaping families and society. A father is not just a breadwinner, but also a protector, guide, shaper of values and morals, and a source of inspiration and the main role-model for the formation of character, spirit and the attitude of their children,' he said.
He pointed out that fathers shoulder a heavy responsibility as the head of the family, ensuring the well-being, safety, and future of their children are always protected.
'Appreciate them as long as they are alive, express your appreciation, and continue the legacy of noble values that have been instilled by them. To those who have lost their fathers, send prayers to them and give alms as a sign of our lasting love,' he said.
Although a father's love is rarely expressed verbally, Wan Junaidi said every drop of sweat and every effort made is proof of their endless love for the well-being of the family.
He also said behind every successful family, stands a father who fights tirelessly – both in the countryside and in the city, from various backgrounds and occupations.
'Fathers teach us about responsibility, patience, perseverance and strength. His advice becomes a guide for life, while his firmness shapes our personality and resilience in facing challenges. Therefore, on this special day, Toh Puan Datuk Patinggi Fauziah Mohd Sanusi and I record our highest appreciation and gratitude to all fathers for all the services and sacrifices they make without expecting anything in return,' he said.

M'sian rider helps hungry family who couldn't pay for food
It's usually kind customers who treat food delivery riders to meals or drinks — small gestures of appreciation for their hard work. But this time, the kindness came from the rider instead. A Malaysian food delivery rider recently touched hearts online after sharing his encounter with a family who couldn't afford to pay for their meal. In a now-viral post on the Facebook group ShopeeFood RIDER Official (MY), the rider — known as Paktam — recounted how the customer had placed a cash-on-delivery order. However, upon arriving and handing over the food, the situation took an unexpected turn. 'The mother suddenly said, 'I'm so sorry, I didn't realise I don't have any money in my wallet.'' Wanting to help, Paktam offered her an alternative. 'I told her, 'If you don't have cash, you can use QR, sis.'' But the woman replied, 'I don't have any money in my bank account either.' Just then, her young daughter came out and asked: ''Mum, has the food arrived? I'm hungry.'' Paktam said that was the moment everything hit him. 'At that moment, I swear, my heart sank. My knees went weak.' 'I told her, 'It's okay, sis... please let your daughter eat. It's alright, I give it to you sincerely, may it be blessed in this world and the next. Just pray that my family and I stay healthy and blessed with sustenance.'' On his ride home, he couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened. 'On the way back, so many thoughts crossed my mind. 'No matter how hard life is for me, there are always others who have it even harder. 'She must have known she didn't have any money... but maybe this was the only way she could feed her child. That was a lesson for me – to always be grateful for what I have.' Paktam's sincere act of kindness has since moved thousands, with many praising him for his empathy and compassion.
