A 6-year-old girl named Syifaa Habibah has touched hearts online after sharing that she will be entering the Special Education Integration Programme (PPKI) next year.
Syifaa, who has Down syndrome, is also a leukaemia survivor. She was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) involving two mutations, but has since completed her chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments.
In a post shared by her mother, Syifaa introduced herself and asked people to pray for her success in this world and the hereafter.
Netizens praise her courage
Her story drew warm messages from netizens, who praised her strength for going through cancer treatment at such a young age.
One commenter wished for Syifaa to become a successful student and continue growing into a brave and beautiful child, while also sending blessings and strength to her parents.
Others prayed that she would remain healthy and enjoy a happy school life next year.
Another young cancer patient sends words of encouragement
Among the comments was a message from a 4-year-old boy named Muhammad Darma Bakti, who shared that he had also been diagnosed with ALL leukaemia in May and was receiving treatment at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HUKM). He encouraged Syifaa to stay strong, saying they could face the fight against cancer together.
