Anwar Extends Aid To Cancer Patient And Retired Soldier In Kuantan"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 (Bernama) &#8212;&nbsp;Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has presented donations to stage-four nasal cancer patient Mohd Sharul Ikmal and retired soldier&nbsp;Pak Nik Soh, who is nearly blind from optic nerve complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aid was handed over on behalf of the Prime Minister by his political secretary, Datuk Ahmad Farhan Fauzi, during a Ziarah MADANI programme visit to&nbsp;Taman Balok Jaya, Kuantan, Pahang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was deeply moved when I heard two truly touching life stories,&nbsp;beginning with Sharul, 27, who, at such a young age, has to battle stage-four nasal cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven more heartbreaking, he has a young child whose father is now battling chronic health issues and requires&nbsp;support to survive,\u201d he said in a Facebook post shared by the Prime Minister today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahmad Farhan also shared about Pak Nik Soh, who has been suffering from optic nerve problems for the past three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA father who once served the country&nbsp;now relies on his children and neighbours to continue his daily life.&nbsp;On behalf of the Prime Minister, I extend a small contribution as a gesture of love and solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAbove all, what is most needed are prayers, attention, and ongoing efforts so that they do not face their battles alone.&nbsp;May Allah SWT grant strength&nbsp;and perseverance to their family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;BERNAMA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 (Bernama) &#8212;&nbsp;Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar
