With a little help from his parents, Irfan was able to buy a brand new PS4

FYI, a PS4 Slim costs about RM1,349. 

According to Farhana, their parents did help a little by topping up the remainder for her brother's new PS4. However, it didn't diminish Irfan's efforts and hard work as they were all still superbly proud of him.
