PETALING JAYA: Despite religious and racial differences, it did not stop Chee Hoi Lan from raising Rohana Abdullah, who was abandoned as a two-month-old baby at a kindergarten 22 years ago after her Indonesian mother returned to her country.

Chee, 83, had been a kindergarten teacher where Rohana’s mother worked as a cleaner and has been raising the girl, who is now 22, like her own flesh and blood despite their religious and racial differences.
