SUBANG: While others are home with loved ones celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri, duty and saving lives come first for the 50 Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (SMART) personnel going to earthquake-struck Myanmar.

Among them was Fire and Rescue Department Kpl Nik Mohd Farihan Nik Zawawi, 28, who waved goodbye to his wife and three young children on the eve of Raya to board a plane bound for a fellow Asean nation.
