PETALING JAYA:
The prime minister’s political secretary has asked members of the public with information on a couple photographed on their motorcycle with a sick child to come forward.

Farhan Fauzi said the matter had caught the attention of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who wanted to help the family in question.

“We request that anyone with information on the family channel it to me via the comment section below so that we can contact them,” he said in a Facebook post.

The child in the photograph appeared to be breathing through a tube connected to his mother’s backpack.

Social media users claimed in the comment section that the couple was from Kuala Kedah in Kedah, and that the father works as a fisherman.
