JAKARTA - Inspiration of goodness can come from anywhere. Differences in countries, tribes, and religions cannot stop human love and kindness. The story of tolerance experienced by Rohana Abdullah in Malaysia is the proof.

The story of Rohana Abdullah (22 years old) is now viral in neighboring Malaysia. It is not a matter of the struggle of Indonesian women who applied for citizenship that has caught the attention of important Malaysian officials. Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. A few weeks ago, the story of a Muslim woman named Rohana Abdullah became the talk of the town in Malaysia. Since he was a toddler, he has been abandoned by his mother who works as a PMI (Indonesian Migrant Worker) in the neighboring country. Luckily he was raised by Chee Hoi Lan (83) who raised him like his own child.

Rohana, who was brought up by Chinese descent very well, has already caught the attention of many people. The reason is that Chee Hoi Lan, 83, who raised her since she was two months old, provided education in accordance with the Islamic religion that Rohana embraced. He also provides halal food and drinks in accordance with the rules of Islamic law. Now Rohana has grown into an adult girl. He and his adoptive mother Chee have applied for citizenship at the Malaysian Home Ministry, but have not yet received attention. This matter received attention from Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin. He was deeply touched by Rohana's story. Hamzah asked his staff to investigate Rohana's documents. Only then will he give a decision. “I was touched when I was informed of this matter last week and have instructed my officers to investigate the authenticity of the information provided first before making any decision,” he said on his Facebook page.
