A mother’s unwavering support for her son’s ambition to become a barber has led her to sell over RM10,000 worth of her jewellery, as reported by Sinar Harian. Fariza Ismail, aged 52, shared that her 26-year-old son, Muhammad Hilman Mohd Rosli, had inspired her through his dedication and enthusiasm. She believed in his dream of owning a barber shop and decided to assist him financially. Despite initially studying in the automotive field, Muhammad Hilman impressed his mother by working part-time as a barber until 2am while pursuing his studies. Witnessing his commitment, Fariza willingly sacrificed most of her jewellery to support his dream.
In 2016, Muhammad Hilman opened his first barber shop in Melaka with the blessing of his parents and the RM10,000 capital from his mother. Since then, he has successfully expanded his business, now owning three more outlets in the state.
