Selepas kemoterapi ke-18, Zalena tetap gigih temani Ayob Khan terima anugerah Maulidur Rasul
Zalena Ariffin yang sedang menjalani rawatan kanser paru-paru tahap tiga mendapat kebenaran doktor menghadiri majlis itu.
After completing her 18th course of chemotherapy, Zalena Ariffin remained determined to support her husband, Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, as he received the 2026 Maulidur Rasul Award for National Heroes in Kuala Lumpur. The following day, Zalena faced her 18th round of chemotherapy for stage three lung cancer, informing the doctor that she was willing to attend the event, provided she wore a mask and maintained cleanliness.
On the occasion of the CiJA (Criminal Justice Association) gathering, Ayob Khan was presented with the Anugerah Tokoh Wira Negara 2026 for his contributions to the police force, including combating terrorism and planned crimes. Zalena expressed her pride in being by her husband's side during this significant moment, as he completed 35 years of service.
While acknowledging the challenges and negative comments she had to endure during her husband's career, Zalena chose not to share these details with Ayob Khan, as her priority was to encourage him to focus on his duties and responsibilities. Zalena also admitted to constantly worrying about her husband's and their family's safety due to the threats Ayob Khan faced throughout his service.
Ayob Khan accepted the award as a recognition not only for himself but also for all members of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) who risk their lives to maintain national security.
