With both of them having attended Chinese schools, Arba’a Ali and her daughter Fatimah regularly converse in Mandarin even at home.
Arba’a Ali and her daughter Fatimah Noryyah Mohd Noor Kosygin speak a mix of Malay and Mandarin at home.
“Actually, we always converse in Chinese at home,” Arba’a, who is better known as Syam, told FMT Lifestyle. She was the only one out of nine siblings to study in a Chinese school. Her initial days at SJKC Pay Hwa in Melaka were challenging: she didn’t understand a word of what was being spoken, and stuck out as the only Malay girl in her class.But she also experienced the Malaysian spirit of muhibbah. “My teacher didn’t see the colour of my skin. If not, I wouldn’t be like this today because she really gave me her full support and encouragement,” the housewife said.
So, while she and her husband enrolled their four sons in religious and national schools, they sent Fatimah, their only daughter, to a Chinese school. And while Syam revealed she has occasionally received unpleasant comments, she doesn’t let these faze her. After all, mastering Mandarin and studying in a Chinese school have proven beneficial for both mother and child.
Two years later, she joined “Jungle Voice 2”, a talent competition in Taiwan. Since then, she has acted in local shows aired on Astro Ceria and Ria.
