Biji Mata Mak

Bibik Bong Neo is a widow who dotes on her adopted pet son, Freddy. She finances him with all that she has for his overseas studies.

The other people in Bibik Bong Neo's immediate circle are her three sisters-in-law, Besar, Tengah and Bongsu, her niece Agnes, and her former maid servant, faithful Ah Foon, who is still in close touch with her and helps to run errands for her.

After she had pawned and sold all her belongings as well as her house for Freddy's overseas education, Bibik Bong Neo, now a destitute, is forced to travel to Kuala Lumpur in search of her son who has made good and forgotten her and also to look for employment as a domestic help. Fate brings about her meeting with Freddy's wife, Swee Neo, who employs her at her home where she lives with her parents and her husband. Neither Swee Neo nor Bibik Bong Neo is aware of their relationship to one another. At Bibik Bong Neo's first encounter with Freddy, he disclaims any relationship with her and drives her away.

Bibik Bong Neo later finds peace and contentment in an Old Folks' Nursing Home in Singapore and declines invitations to move out of the Home after she has been reconciled with her prodigal son who regrets his past behaviour.
