In conjunction with Parents’ Day on July 27, theSun invited Malaysians to reflect and celebrate the people who have shaped their lives. From May 19 to June 1, the Parents’ Day Special: theSun Then & Now Photo Contest ran across social media platforms, calling on participants to recreate old photographs with their parents, paired with a heartfelt caption and the results were nothing short
of moving.
With 179 submissions, the contest stood out as a celebration of family bonds, far beyond the usual social media trend. It evolved into a tribute to the passage of time and the enduring bonds between parents and children. Some recreated faded photos, while others dug up casual moments at home, reimagined decades later. The stories behind each photo added layers of warmth, some funny, some tearful but they all brought back genuine moments of parental love.
