An Open Letter to Cik Citi Nadia

Assalamualaikum Cik Citi Nadia, If you are reading this, thank you. It is not in my intent or position to bring you down. It is my hope that when you write something or submitting an opinion or a post online that's against the flow of the moment, think carefully. I first read about her when I came across an article in Asian Correspondent by the journalist Kirsten Han. From then on it spread across local newspaper, facebook page, posts & updates on everyone's wall. When such news are featured, it's for a reason and for Lil Nur's parents it's about saving their little girl in whatever hope that's left for them & that is to turn their plea to the community. With a salary of SGD 1699 and a one room HDB flat, it is obvious that Lil Nur parents' need help - in any amount in any way we can. You do the Maths lady: SGD 1699 After cpf After paying bills After paying household expenses After paying food After paying medication After transportation to & fro the hospital trips? What's left? Their plea came perhaps when they learn of hope that transplant is possible overseas. They made a choice to publish the news of Lil Nur regardless whatever the outcome they accept. That's faith. Alhamdulillah, it breeds positivity and I have no idea what's the total amount collected because it is not my business to know. We gave sincerely in our desire to see a child get well, her parents' hope for getting that transplant even it means they have to go thru such means. You & I will never know their whole life story and it's never right to speculate on anything or anyone. What they have received from all of us are sincere donations that's given by a community. They did not lie their way to get it and it's halal & sincere from us. In my opinion, they still have that medical bills to pay for and you never know if it's enough. At least we are helping our own Singaporean girl. Perhaps Allah in His Grace decide that Lil Nur parent's been struggling so hard for Lil Nur and this is His Favour upon them - that what the community has given them is a form of rezeki to pay off all that expensive medical bills or whatever they have spent in ensuring that their Lil Girl gets the best medical care possible. That's faith. Whatever it is do the right thing. If you are brave enough to publish that tweet and it was mentioned that you tweet it because you got the right to your own view, be a brave lady and own up. Apologise and move on. Allah Maha Pengampun and I m very sure Lil Nur parents will forgive you too. Insya Allah. Al Fateha for Allahyarhamah Adlea Ry'Kyla Muhammad Ghazali & to the family - be strong :)
