PM extends Deepavali aid
to Jocelyn Dewi
The 27-year-old has been the sole breadwinner for her three siblings since her father passed away and her mother left them several years ago.
FMT previously reported how Jocelyn had been having difficulty making ends meet for her family over the past few months.
The 27-year-old has been the sole breadwinner for her three siblings since her father passed away and her mother left them several years ago.
In a Facebook post, Anwar said his political secretary Ahmad Farhan Fauzi handed Jocelyn the contribution during a visit yesterday.
“I was informed that Jocelyn had to take on the role of breadwinner for the family following her father’s passing, while her mother has returned to the Philippines,” he said.
“She needs to care for two younger siblings who are still in school and the youngest who has autism.”
Jocelyn is unable to find stable employment as she does not have an identity card, and Anwar said he had asked Farhan to help with her application for the document.
Her late father, who is Malaysian Indian, and her mother, who is from the Philippines, registered their wedding only after Jocelyn’s birth.
