Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri today reached out to 9-year-old Mohamad Nor Atho'ullah Mohd Kamil today after his story went viral on social media last week.


Nor Atho'ullah's father, Mohamad Kamil Ghazali, 51, succumbed to Covid-19 at the Sungai Buloh Hospital on January 15.

Nor Atho'ullah received the news when he and the rest of his family, including his mother and his five siblings were being treated for the disease at the Covid-19 Quarantine and Low Risk Treatment Centre (PKRC) in MAEPS, Serdang.

They have all recovered since, and have been allowed to go home.

His story was highlighted after other patients at the treatment centre came together to raise funds for the family.
