“My cucu is 1 year and 7 months old. Ayah ada lari. Tidak tau mana lah. (Her dad ran away. We don’t know where).The mom works at the kilang (factory). The salt factory, wheat flour factory, near Matang. The dad also used to work at the factory, and the palm plantation. He’s 25, and my niece 20 years old. I don’t know why they fought, but he ran away from where he works. Tidak sama haluan (they were not in the same path). It’s not good what happened. They are not a family and they are not in the same haluan. Her name is Kelara. And the government is not helping. If the government wants to help. Mesti ade surat cerai (divorce papers). If no divorce papers they cannot help.

They have married, but they cannot do a divorce paper because the other guy is missing, in the lockup, maybe, or hanged. The husband is missing. Even from his kampung he is missing, we don’t know where he is. The police have yet to find his body (laugh)”.

– Humans of Kuala Lumpur went with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA Malaysia) into the jungles of Sarawak, where they were helping out underprivileged Sarawakians and orang asal in their mission to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person’s potential is fulfilled.

For the next week, Humans of KL, as the biggest storytelling platform in Malaysia covering all the states as its capital, will feature the amazing stories and challenges faced by these Malaysians.
