January 27, 2021
KOTA BHARU – Eight-year-old Putra Airil Asraq Mohd Aqimie only went to school for two months before being confined at home due to the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in March last year.
However, as he continued with his studies online, fate dealt him a cruel blow when he was diagnosed with liver cancer.

Since October last year, Putra Airil, who is now in Standard Two at Sekolah Kebangsaan Mulong, has undergone 16 cycles of chemotherapy.
His mother, Nurul Asyikin Razak, 32, said he is the eldest of three siblings and now follows the home-based teaching and learning (PdPR) classes, although she never forces him to do it.
