In a world where differences often divide, the story of Muhammad Adam Mikhael reminds us of what truly brings people together love, sincerity, and shared humanity.
Little Adam, just two years old, is at the heart of a beautiful bond that blossomed between two families of different races and religions. Raised with tenderness and joy, Adam shares a unique connection with a couple he fondly calls Amma and Appa : Banupiriya and Gunaseelan who once cared for him when he was just a few months old.
A video shared by his mother, Shaidatul Naqiyah Mohamad Abdullah, captured the hearts of many when it showed Adam running into their arms, full of smiles and warmth. It wasn’t just a reunion; it was a moment that quietly shattered stereotypes and reminded viewers of the power of unconditional love.
Banupiriya, who took care of Adam from when he was three to six months old, has never been just a caregiver. She and her husband have remained a loving presence in Adam’s life, embracing him as their own. From visits to overnight stays, their connection only grew stronger over time.
“When Adam turned two, we started bringing him to meet them again. He was never awkward around them, it was as if the love they once poured into him stayed with him,” shared Shaidatul Naqiyah.
It was her husband who suggested inviting the couple to breakfast with them at Dataran Merdeka, a gesture that led to the heartwarming reunion captured on TikTok. The video quickly went viral, but for Naqiyah, it wasn’t about gaining attention.
“I didn’t expect it to go viral. I just wanted to show that love sees no race, no religion,” she said.
Over the years, some questioned her decision not to hire a Malay nanny. But to her, love and trust matter more than skin colour. “I want people to see that racial differences are never an obstacle to meaningful relationships,” she added.
Adam’s joyful spirit and affection for his Amma and Appa speak volumes. It’s in the way he runs to them, the way they cradle him, and how they continue to stay in touch like one extended family.
In a time when division often makes the headlines, stories like these bring light. They remind us that beyond race and religion, we are all humans with hearts capable of immense love.
Sometimes, family isn’t defined by blood, but by love that flows freely, sincerely, and without boundaries.
