Hussain's goal: To make his parents happy

Emerging artist Hussain Jamilul Hayat is making waves not just with his talent but with his heartfelt desire to bring happiness to his parents, Jamilul Hayat and Siti Asma. The 23-year-old singer's journey is deeply rooted in his wish to reciprocate the sacrifices they made while raising six children.

Hussain vividly remembers the hardships his parents endured. He witnessed his father's arduous recovery from a traffic accident that left him in a coma for an extended period. During this challenging time, his mother took on the responsibility of selling nasi lemak to support the family. These experiences have fueled Hussain's determination to honor their struggles.

I don't care about the position, as long as I can qualify for the final stage, that's enough. But if it happens that I win this competition, the first person I want to make happy is my mother and father. That's my purpose for entering this competition, to make them happy. After that, I want to change our family's fortunes. We live in a modest family, but it's enough to live.
