KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Five-year-old Noah, a special needs kid, has stopped talking.
Having spent most of his life in Malaysia, he had recently moved to Brunei with his mother and two sisters to join his father who works there. It is only the latest thing he has had to adapt to in the space of one year, what with the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions that have played havoc with his daily routine.
His reticence worries his mother Nurul Che Hashim. Before we would hear him say more, but now he s a bit on the quiet side. When we ask him, Do you want water? , he wouldn t answer. Usually, he would say, Water. Water. But he doesn t say that anymore, she said.
