Making this newfound online fame more memorable for Pavithra, 28 and her husband, M. Sugu, is receiving a special delivery from Muhyiddin on Monday.
Among the items they received were a camera tripod, microwave, oven, rice cooker and cooking essentials.
“I have never thought of receiving gifts from the Prime Minister. Who am I? I am only an ordinary person. I even received a special card from him that had the message: keep up the good work, just stay at home.
“Nobody informed me that a parcel would arrive at my doorstep on Monday, even the card did not bear the Prime Minister’s signature on it. Hours after I received it, I got a phone call from the Prime Minister Office’s, asking me whether I have received the parcel.

“That was when I knew that the parcel was from the Prime Minister. I would like to thank him and meet him personally but I know it is impossible to meet him during this Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO),” she said when contacted today.
