Daughter of ‘pakcik air balang’ carries on her father’s legacy
Siti Nur Aliah hopes to keep her late father’s business alive while holding on to her own dream of entering university next year.
Siti Nur Aliah, daughter of the late Ah Yauddin Ahmad, is determined to continue her father's legacy at his drink stall in Klang's Taman Datuk Bandar Meru night market. Ahmad, known as "pakcik air balang," passed away on July 18 at 64 after battling a lung infection. His wife, Roslina, who suffered complications from a stroke and diabetes, died in October after five years of health issues.
The couple, married for nearly 40 years, became internet sensations after a video of Ah Yauddin's care for Roslina went viral on social media. Now, 22-year-old Nur Aliah is striving to follow in her father's footsteps while pursuing her own dreams. She is working on obtaining her driving license and plans to drive a van to manage the business.
Despite the challenges, Nur Aliah remains hopeful and is also planning to resume her education in early childhood education.
