Saloma Aji and Puspawangi Samad (inset).
MARAN (Bernama): The presence of two Orang Asli vaccine recipients with classic names, Saloma Aji and Puspawangi Samad, at the Covid-19 vaccination centre in Sungai Jempul here on Friday (July 2) captured the attention of frontliners there.
Puspawangi, 19, who looked cheerful throughout the vaccination process, said although some may consider her name old fashioned , she carries it proudly. I like the name given to me and I find it quite unique, so far I have never met an individual that has the same name as mine, ” she told Bernama.
Fondly called Wangi, the second of five siblings said her parents probably chose the name because both of them loved to watch classic Malay film Musang Berjanggut, directed by and starring the legendary late Tan Sri P Ramlee.
