Thirteen-year-old Alicia Loh realizes her dream to be a published writer thanks to MPH Group of Companies and Children’s Wish Society of Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, DEC 15 2009…..Wishes do come true! For 13-year-old Alicia Loh, her wish was fulfilled today with the debut of her book “The Last Chapter”.
Alicia currently undergoes regular treatment for spinal muscular atrophy type 2, a nerve and muscular disease that is progressive and incurable.
Her wish which was conveyed to the Children’s Wish Society of Malaysia, was transformed into reality with the help of MPH Group of Companies who extended a helping hand to publish her book.
Her debut novella is The Last Chapter, a story about blossoming and broken relationships.
CWS Malaysia president Tan Sri Ramon Navaratnam who launched the book together with Dato’ Ng Tieh Chuan, CEO OF MPH Group of Companies Malaysia and Alicia said the society was happy to be able to fulfill yet another wish of a child and bring cheer to her life.
“CWS is a very young organization but we continue to pursue our objectives of bringing a smile back to children around us who are stricken with life-threatening and terminal illnesses across the country.”
“Today, together with our partner MPH, we have made another wish come true,” he said.
Navaratnam said the society hoped more corporations and individuals will come forward to share the smiles around by helping CWS fulfill more wishes.
The society has fulfilled the wishes of children from as far north as Kedah, Kuala Lumpur to Melaka and Johor and also in Sabah and Sarawak.
