Caring mother

From Neraca

I honestly sympathize with the lady I met on a minibus between Pasar Minggu and Blok M recently, although I don't know her name or address.

The lady expressed her concern on seeing so many students loafing in groups outside their classrooms during school hours. Although I could only listen briefly to the way she guides and educates her own children, I am sure she was sincere.

She regularly consults her children's teachers to see how they are doing in school. She gets them regular medical check ups to see if they are taking drugs. She also acquaints them with religious morals and ethics so that they can move in any social environment without being influenced by others.

This is the kind of attention that youngsters need. It shows a parent's great sense of responsibility towards the future of this nation.
