Young Muay Thai sensation Aliff Rakib has made a remarkable gesture, gifting his parents a RM1 million bungalow to express his gratitude for their unwavering support.

The 22-year-old fighter, who recently captured the ONE Interim Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship, presented the luxurious home to his parents, Suriati Che Wook, 46, and Rakib Ahmad, 53, during a celebratory event in Lembah Sireh.

Overwhelmed with emotion, his parents were moved to tears by the surprise. Aliff Rakib stated that the house, located in Rantau Panjang, was purchased with his savings accumulated over time. He plans to hold a thanksgiving ceremony next week.

This generous act follows Rakib's historic victory over Thai legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao in Bangkok. The win, achieved via knockout in the fifth round, secured his world championship title and marked a significant milestone in his professional career.

Beyond the material gift, Rakib also intends to take his parents on an umrah pilgrimage soon and plans to marry his Thai girlfriend in the near future. He is the second of four siblings.
