thalassaemia boy need money for operation

JOHOR BARU: Seven-year-old Low Yong Hau hopes to one day play with his classmates and take part in sports activities in his school.

Such activities are now beyond him. He suffers from Thalassaemia Major.

“I cannot join my friends in physical education classes because I have this disease.

“Taking part in physical activities make me feel tired and then I will fall sick,” he said.

Yong Hau’s father Low Sze Keong, 43, is hoping that generous Malaysians will be able to help his son lead a normal life.

Sze Keong, who works as a car painter, said he needed to raise RM100,000 to send his son for an operation in Singapore.

“It is a torture to see him suffer every month when he goes for his blood transfusion. The procedure is painful and he will cry.

“Many times I have to lie to persuade him to go to Kluang General Hospital for treatment,” he told a press conference organised by Johor MCA Public Com­plaints Bureau chief Chia Song Cheng on June 16.

He said the family had tried to have the operation done locally but was told by the doctor that his son has a very rare blood type and that finding a suitable donor might be difficult.

“My son needs to go for a bone marrow operation in Singapore which will cost RM500,000. So far, we have managed to raise RM400,000 and are still short of RM100,000.

“I am appealing to the people to help me because my son needs to undergo the operations by the end of July,” he said, adding that the hospital in Singapore had managed to find a suitable donor for Yong How.

Chia said he had been informed that if Yong How is not operated on soon, he would suffer further health complications.

female smokers getting younger

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is seeing an increase of female smokers with those lighting up for the first time getting younger.

“Schoolgirls who pick up a cigarette for the very first time are often driven by peer pressure, and it is vital that we reach out to them to offer our support and expertise to help them kick the habit,” said Respiratory Medical Institute Head Datin Dr Aziah Ahmad Mahayiddin at the World No Tobacco Day 2010 celebration held at the institute here recently.

About Me

Well, I'm Kashvenderjit Kaur Gill but prefers to be called Kash because my name is too long and its often hard for people whom I know to pronounce it. Basically I'm from Kuantan, Pahang. most people think that kuantan is actually a "ulu"place but let me clear your doubt guys, it's not as bad as you people think. in fact I love being there more than I like being in Selangor. Back in my hometown I have 2 siblings and guess what, i'm the eldest. I always wanted to have a puppy so bad that I would do anythin to have it but however, I changed my mind when my cousin parveen asked me 2 look after her puppy for a week. Trust me looking after a pet is not as simple as you people think.

I love listening to music and singing although I have a really sucky voice but who cares. Eversince I was a kid I had this craze of getting married even until today; and I cant wait actually. Acting is my passion and I want to be a Bollywood actress so badly. Guitar is something that I want to learn so bad but never had the chance because my dad thinks only guys play the guitar, which is so not true because singers like Taylor Swift and Orianthi plays them too. I thought of being vegetarian but I'm still working on it. I like to eat anything edible and drink anything drinkable.
