Special Feature
In hindsight, my kids are doing very well. The eldest is Bella,
who’s 10, and the second is Tasha, who’s 9. We have two
pairs of twins: 5-year-olds and 1-year-olds. They all have
different personalities – this can be challenging, but we
constantly try to be there and support them physically,
mentally, and psychologically.
In what manner would you say that
your children have changed you?
They’ve undoubtedly changed my outlook on life. They are
my everything now, and my life revolves around what they
do. For example, I’ll make sure I am home when they come
back from school. My schedules are often planned around
them. My children and my family always come first.
Coming back to your success in the
professional field, can you share
more about your role as Afyaa’s
FOUNDER?
Afyaa is a functional food product that anyone can use daily.
It is doing pretty well in the market, and I am proud of the
positive impact it has left on our target audience. “Sihat
Nikmat Terindah” has always been our tagline, and this is
ultimately what we want to convey to the public. Health is
the most important thing in our life, and I want everyone to
know how this product can help us lead a healthier lifestyle.
I would love to expand Afyaa. We are now in four different
countries and we have launched a new product called
Blacktide in Indonesia. Currently, the three products we
have in Malaysia are Ryndu, Hayyiba and Sahiyya. Moving
forward, we are looking to produce three more products.
We are also planning to come out with products for kids in
the near future.
Now that we’re heading towards
the “new normal” way of life, what is
your advice for parents?
Don’t take things for granted. We may think that the virus
is not as dangerous as it used to be, but it is still spreading.
Even though we are in the endemic phase, we still need to be
cautious. What’s best is to get vaccinated, not just against the
COVID-19 virus but also to prevent other diseases. A healthy
diet is also essential instead of just relying on medication
when you’re sick. Simply put, prevention is better than cure.
What is your favourite quote/motto?
“What the mind believes, the body achieves.”
