A Mother’s Strength and Resilience

Mdm Siti Asmaniah was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer in 2018 and now lives with a permanent stoma. Yet amid her own journey, she continues caring for her bedridden son, elderly mother and husband.

Her resilience and positive outlook led Ain Society to honour her with the Anugerah Ibu Tabah 2024, recognising mothers who have overcome cancer while continuing to inspire those around them.

Her journey reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a person, a family and an extraordinary story of strength.
