25-5-2023 (Kuala Lumpur) A TikTok video uploaded by netizen Farah Aina a few days ago has gained widespread attention, featuring an incredible martial arts performance by an elderly woman. The video not only showcases her skills but also reveals the secrets behind her longevity at the age of 107: nutritious food and a healthy lifestyle. In an interview with the Metripolitian daily, Farah Aina, who is 30 years old, shared more details about the remarkable grandmother in the video, named Zahara.
Zahara, who is not only Farah Aina’s adoptive mother but also a martial arts instructor with students across the country, currently resides with her granddaughter near Kota Bharu, Kelantan. In the past, she worked as a traditional doctor and would often venture into the forest to search for medicinal herbs to treat sinusitis and muscle pain.

“God bless, Grandma Moksu, she is still in good health,” Farah Aina expressed. “Though she can no longer perform strenuous tasks as before, she still manages to maintain a clean house and walk around.”
Given Zahara’s expertise as a traditional doctor, many people seek her advice and visit her regularly. Farah Aina highlighted that her adoptive mother’s passion for cycling was a significant part of her active lifestyle. However, due to her current physical condition, she can no longer engage in vigorous exercise.
“In the past, Grandma Moksu used to cycle everywhere she went,” Farah Aina shared. “She also attributes her healthy state to a balanced diet and lifestyle, in addition to genetic factors.”
Remarkably, Zahara’s mother lived until the age of 100, hinting at the possibility of longevity running in the family.
Farah Aina expressed her surprise at the viral success of her TikTok videos. “Grandma Moksu came to my house to celebrate Eid, and she delighted the visiting students by showcasing her martial arts skills. She was equally astonished as she had never encountered such a situation before.”
Farah Aina concluded by expressing her heartfelt wish for her adoptive mother’s continued good health and a smooth life ahead, inspired by Zahara’s remarkable journey as a living testament to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
