“I lost my mum recently. And when going through the grief, I turned to Ali, remembering how he handled his feelings when he had to say goodbye to his mother,” shared Ida Rahayu Yusoff, who is the voice of Ali in Ejen Ali, on what she admires about this Malaysian animated character.

Ida’s mother passed away in 2020 from stage four cancer.
