From the start, Khairunhanisah's intention was to help her dad who's a cancer patient to retrieve back stolen medical documents from a recent car break-in
She did something very common these days - to use the influence and mass reach of social media for help. However, her good intentions were overlooked and criticised by some netizens for using English to communicate.
The comments were first spotted on popular Malay site OH!BULAN. We checked and realised the comments are now hidden or have been deleted.
Some lamented that world leaders use their mother tongue, like the Prime Minister of Japan
We're glad she reached out to get help on Facebook, whatever language she chose to communicate in. Share this to help Khairunhanisah spread the word!
