“I surprised mum with tickets for a three-day, two-night getaway,” Muhammad Hasif Sharuddin wrote in his post on 5 October.
“Better to make our mothers happy while we still can. Love you, mak.”
According to mStar, the 66-year-old mother suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney problems.
Hasif, who is the youngest of her five children, had to empty his pockets to settle her medical bills.
However, things began to look up when he entered reality show ‘Mikrofon Impian’ in April this year. He succeeded in getting through to the second round of the singing competition in episode 10 and brought home a cash prize of RM10,000.
Moreover, he landed a full-time job two months ago and is grateful to finally have some savings to do something thoughtful for his mother.
“My mum gave birth to me and brought me up, why wouldn’t I give back to my mother when all this time I couldn’t due to money constraints?” he told mStar.
“She cried and laughed because she was so happy when she saw an envelope with tickets to Pulau Tioman,” he said.
According to Malay Mail, the two enjoyed a variety of activities on the beautiful island, including riding bicycles, playing on swings, and enjoying local cuisine.
His mum was touched after receiving the necklace that had a pendant engraved with a hibiscus on it, similar to the one she used to own.
“I’ve been meaning to replace it for a while now but I had no money, and it took time for me to find a pendant that had the same engraving,” said Hasif.
“It wasn’t just my mum that got teary about the necklace, even I cried.”
“What I did is not enough, but I am grateful because I’ve been waiting a long time for this moment and finally got to fulfill my mum’s wish to go on a beach holiday,” he said.
“She said it’s the best when I bring her out to ride on a bicycle. I would do anything and everything for her.”
A Facebook user was moved to tears when he read the post.
This user said that Hasif’s mother was lucky to have a sweet son like him.
