Anwar Ibrahim honours mothers with poetic tribute for Mother’s Day

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today extended Mother’s Day greetings to all mothers, expressing appreciation for their sacrifices, love and unwavering devotion.

In a post on his Facebook page, Anwar shared a series of poetic verses or “pantun” dedicated to honouring the role 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!” he said.

The Prime Minister 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”.
