BINTULU, November 1 – Just a tear from the parents of the late Mohamad Syahmi Asyraaf Muda or called 'Uda' by Musa Sirat and Suhaida Sumit when they took the stage to receive a scroll on behalf of 'Uda' who died of lymphoma cancer on 16 September.

 

The mother of the late, Suhaida said 'Uda', a graduate of the Diploma in Agricultural Engineering, said the deceased's wish to continue his studies to the highest level was not achieved but the deceased managed to get a Diploma to be handed over to his beloved family at the 46th Convocation Ceremony of the 1st Session of Universiti Putra Malaysia Bintulu Campus (UPMKB) at Dewan Sri Kenyalang, UPMKB here.

 

“Throughout his studies at UPMKB, he was healthy and very happy and had actually received an offer to continue his studies at the Bachelor's Degree level and the spirit's desire to continue his studies to PhD level,” she said.

 

Recounting the moment that the late Mohamad Syahmi Asyraaf was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer, initially the deceased had a prolonged cough and had sought treatment in three clinics and no change despite seeking treatment.

 

“I then took the deceased to the hospital and the hospital did a CT scan and found the gland in the left neck of the deceased was swollen and needed further treatment at the hospital with the expertise,” she said.

 

Suhaida said her late son was then taken to Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) on 31 August 2022 for two weeks for tests and follow-up treatment and was later diagnosed with lymphoma cancer.

 

“Her late son himself did not know he had the disease and the hospital had also informed me that his cancer had spread too quickly to my son's body, but he was strong,” she said/div>
