"Since my retirement savings is not much, my wife and I had to make the best design so that we do not regret in the future," said Assistant Administrative Officer at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) told Bernama.

Some of the money spent is given to parents to enable them to perform the umrah, said Mohd Basri who has a daughter aged two.
