MASUK JAWI

Hakeem and little sister, Mai



Yesterday, my nephew Hakeem confidently went to do the obligatory. He is a brave, little man, not only didn’t he cry; he chuckled when the doctor performed the procedure. “Geli”, he said. His mother who went with him to the clinic said, there were many boys who were circumcised at the clinic yesterday; only one rather big size boy wailed. There was one boy, about 12 who went unaccompanied.

Being only 6, he is a champion because he beat two older cousins aged 8 and 9, who when asked, "Bila nak sunat nih?", they would shake their heads, “tak maulah!” . Hakeem was not in any way forced; he volunteered himself.

To my little soldier, "Bravo!"
