KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has extended Mother’s Day greetings to all mothers, expressing appreciation for their sacrifices, love and unwavering devotion.
In a Facebook post, he shared a series of poetic verses, or “pantun,” dedicated to honouring the roles and contributions of mothers.
“Burung melayang di puncak angkasa,
Hinggap sebentar di pohon jati,
Kasih ibu berkalung jasa,
Menjadi azimat terangi hati.
“Happy Mother’s Day!” Anwar said.
He also uploaded a photograph of his late mother Che Yan Hamid Hussein, alongside his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, as a tribute to two important women in his life.
Mother’s Day is celebrated worldwide on the second Sunday of May each year.
This year’s national-level Mother’s Day celebration carries the theme 'Seteguh Kasih Ibu'.
