This is a two-year-old girl with a rare condition called hypertrichosis, which causes excessive hair growth on her face and upper body, and is currently attracting royal attention.

Adik Missclyen, who was also born without nostrils, had the opportunity to meet the King and Queen of Malaysia when they visited her hometown of Bintulu during their tour of Borneo. Adik and her parents, Roland Jimbai, 47, and Theresa Guntin, 28, were among those who lined up to meet the royals on September 11.

King Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah and Queen Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah approached to greet the girl with congenital hypertrichosis (CGH), which causes excessive hair growth.

She was also born without nostrils. In an emotional gesture, the royal couple called the child “anak syurga,” meaning “child from heaven.” King Abdullah offered words of encouragement to Roland before he and the Queen stopped for a family photo.

Roland told local media, “It was so welcome to see King Abdullah, Queen Azizah, and their children meet our family and take pictures with Missclyen. I am incredibly happy to have the opportunity to meet the King and Queen. I am still speechless. The King instructed me to take good care of Missclyen because she is a blessing from God.” He added, “I hope to see the royal couple again if possible.”

Roland said people often look at his youngest daughter, Missclyen, with strange eyes. Some even called her an “animal child,” the father recounted. He said, “Initially, we were really hurt and stressed. We felt sad and started avoiding taking her to public places, except for routine hospital checkups. We were so afraid of what people would say.”

Roland added that the girl’s rare condition doesn’t affect her health, but they still take her for regular checkups to be sure.
