Speaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Syahiera mentions how her late dad, Abdul Latif bin Haji Idris was an Assistant Science Officer and served at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA).

She further described her dad as an incredibly patient and kind-hearted man who raised her with the most “unconditional love”.

“My father was an incredibly patient and kind-hearted man who never said no to me, his daughter. I was raised with the most unconditional love. However, ladies and gentlemen, the same hands that once held my father’s hand every time I left the house were the very hands that had to sign his burial form on 23 July 2026,” she added.

“Until we meet again, dad”

Syahiera shared that her late father had passed away three months ago, adding that she wished he could have been there alongside her mother to celebrate this special milestone.

“My late father returned to his Creator three months ago. Al-Fatihah for my father. I hope you are proud of me, Dad.

“How wonderful it would have been if both my father and mother could be here to celebrate this day with me. I dedicate this achievement to both of you. Until we meet again, dad.”
