"Alhamdulillah, we did not expect that my son won the 2021 AYIA-MTE gold medal in Malaysia," said Aiptu H. Slamet Wahyudi, Sunday (28/03/2021).
According to his father, Muhammad Alief Dhafa Wahyudi likes to read and be creative. A proud achievement in the AYIA-MTE 2021 event which was also attended by participants from 16 countries virtually, bringing together inventors, designers or fashion designers among students is increasingly strengthening it if Indonesian young people are talented.
As did Muhammad Alief Dhafa Wahyudi (18) with his schoolmates at the Singa Putih Munfaridin Islamic Boarding School, Sentong Hamlet, Lumbangrejo, Prigen, namely Akmalul Umam (16). They both make works of making anti-cancer hijab. With the title of innovation: Synthesis of Betacyanins Fiber Sandwich Material Based on Hylocereus Polyrhizus for Anti Hijab, Cancer Hijab: In Vivo Case Study.
The innovative anti-cancer hijab idea created by the two students arose from the phenomenon of the hijab trend among Asian Muslims. According to Muhammad Alief, the hijab is not only a means of covering one's genitals. But it also has the value of the benefit of protecting the body from exposure to diseases, such as cancer. As a result, the innovation from the work of the two MA Unggulan Singa Putih students succeeded in getting rid of participants from 16 other countries.
For his son's achievements, Aiptu H. Slamet Wahyudi has hope. In order to achieve proud achievements in the next event in Romania.

As well as Indonesian young people, they will be more creative and full of innovation on the world stage," he hoped.
