PETALING JAYA: National Journalism Laureate Khalidah Adibah Amin is in stable condition, although she is physically weak and requires full-time care. Her sister Khalilah Fadzilah Amin, 87, said apart from having diabetes, Adibah is weak due to age and could only sit in a wheelchair for a short period of time. Adibah, 90, has served as an editor with Star Media Group, News Straits Time and Berita Harian. Khalilah Fadzilah said Adibah is currently being cared for full-time by a trained and experienced caretaker who ensures her daily needs are well taken care of. A family friend, Lay Hua, said all proceeds from the event would be channelled to support Adibah's care, while preserving her legacy by awarding the "Adibah Amin Literary Prizes" to young writers.
