JOHOR BARU: Despite having to handle funeral preparation for the remains of up to 18 Covid-19 patients a day, Faizah Hamezah has never considered her task difficult.
In fact, she views her role as fardhu kifayah (compulsory communal obligation) that she is required to perform.
Faizah, 40, also continues to carry out the task, fully aware of the reality and the huge risks that she faces daily.
“(In a day), sometimes I have to manage five or six bodies, and the most that I have managed thus far is 18 in a day.
