Bibik’s handwritten letter to ‘anak buah’ has Twitterjaya sentimental
Sometimes the simplest gestures can bring the most joy and meaning to our lives. This was surely true for one man who received the perfect gift from someone unexpected.
Twitter user @FizIrshad_ shares a heart-warming, handwritten letter he gotten from his bibik – meaning aunt in Indonesian, however in Malaysia the word is commonly used referring to an Indonesian maid – as a sweet send-off to colleague.
The short letter begins with Bibik Lia humbly apologizing for not having anything (else) to give the young man except for her thought and prayers.
“Sorry Hafiz, I have nothing to give you. (except) my advise, don’t disappoint your parents.
Wrote Bibik Lia via Twitter

You didn’t see my bibik’s handwritting lg..bibik sy buta huruf but she still can copy down what she saw. So bila dia tulis mcm bdk tadika campur2 uppercase lowercase. But still sy ❤ bibik yg almost 15 yrs jaga sy.
