  • Khairuddin Saad continues his late wife's legacy by running the rempeyek business they started together.
  • His wife, Rahmah Salleh, who passed away in 2018, had been making rempeyek for 19 years before her passing.
  • Saad is determined to keep the business alive because he deeply values the enterprise his wife built.

In the heart of Kampung Seri Kenangan, Setiu, Terengganu, a story of love, legacy, and resilience unfolds. Khairuddin Saad, 57, is not just a businessman; he is a devoted husband continuing the culinary dream he shared with his late wife, Rahmah Salleh.

Rahmah, who passed away in 2018, was the heart and soul behind their successful rempeyek enterprise, a business she nurtured for 19 years. Her dedication to quality and taste made their rempeyek a beloved product. After her passing, Khairuddin took it upon himself to ensure her legacy would not fade.

For Khairuddin, this is more than just a business; it's a deeply personal mission. He refers to the business as something he 'sayangkan' (cherishes or loves dearly), a testament to the profound connection he felt with Rahmah and their shared venture. His commitment to continuing the business single-handedly speaks volumes about his love and respect for his wife's hard work and entrepreneurial spirit.

This narrative, as reported by Utusan Malaysia, resonates deeply within our community. It highlights the strength of family bonds and the enduring power of a spouse's love. While international news might focus on economic trends or political developments, stories like Khairuddin's remind us of the everyday heroism and the importance of preserving cherished traditions and family legacies. It's a heartwarming reminder that even in loss, love can inspire perseverance and keep memories alive through tangible, delicious creations.

After his wife's passing in 2018, he has been running it alone because he deeply cherishes the business that the deceased had been running for 19 years.
