  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Entrepreneur Khairul Aming, also known as Khairul Amin Kamarulzaman, recently opened up about the heartbreaking early struggle of not being able to provide financial assistance to his late father. The 34-year-old influencer broke down during a recent TikTok livestream, sharing how he felt utterly helpless when his father asked for RM50, which he simply could not afford. He struggled to even buy his father's medicine, with his father eventually passing away on March 29, 2020, having never seen Khairul's successful business venture, Sambal Nyet. In the aftermath of his father's death, the influencer's focus shifted to his family and work, leading to the successful establishment of his first factory in Kelantan. Determined to reinvest his earnings into the business, Khairul avoided personal luxuries and saved only RM1,000. Today, Khairul's company generates massive sales, and he remains committed to creating jobs and fulfilling his financial responsibilities.",
