A touching video shared by TikTok user @cik_farah93 has gone viral, capturing the emotional farewell of a Malaysian soldier as she prepares to leave for Lebanon on a humanitarian mission. The video, brimming with heartfelt moments, highlights the deep bond between family members in the face of separation.
The soldier, who is the youngest sister in her family, is seen sharing a tender goodbye with her parents. In one particularly moving scene, her father lovingly feeds her a bite of her favorite dish, sambal udang (spicy prawn sambal), as she holds back tears. This simple yet profound act of care speaks volumes about the love and support within the family.
The soldier is part of the fourth group of the Malaysian Battalion 850-12 (MALBATT 850-12), deployed under the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping and humanitarian mission in Lebanon. The mission, which aims to promote peace and provide humanitarian aid, underscores Malaysia's commitment to global stability and support for those in need.
Viewers of the video have flooded the comments with prayers and well-wishes, commending the soldier's bravery and dedication to serving others. Many expressed admiration for the sacrifices made by both the soldier and her family, recognizing the emotional toll of such a separation.
As MALBATT 850-12 embarks on their noble mission, the nation stands united in wishing them a safe and successful return.
