MALACCA….Pre-Christmas visitors to the Malacca General Hospital brought a lot of smiles and laughter to more than 30 children warded at the children’s ward recently.
Four children in particular were granted their wishes by the Children’s Wish Society of Malaysia who made the trip to Malacca to present them their wish while giving out presents to the other children warded in the hospital.
Jaslyn Khoo, 5 who is diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia was presented a laptop to enable her to play games and watch her favourite movies at home or when she is at the hospital for treatment.
Five year old Muhd Raimi Bin Ab Rahman, eight year old Nur Maisarah Bte Abd Rahim and seven year old Joseph Pslam were each given an MP3 player to enable them to listen to music and also the radio.
Muhd Raimi is suffering from global development delay while Nur Maisarah is seeking treatment for brainstem tumour and hydrocephalus. Joseph is suffering from global developmental delay epilepsy ( semizoencephalus Type II).
CWS Malaysia board members Alan Yip and Lim Ai Mee who made the visited later distributed gifts to more than 30 children in the ward.
“We received the wishes from the four children a week earlier and we decided since we were making the trip to Malacca, why not spread the cheer with other children?”
“CWS is the first-ever organization which looks at fulfilling wishes of children who are stricken with life-threatening or terminal illnesses in the country,” Alan Yip said, adding that more wish granting will continue to be carried out in 2010 throughout the country.
Yip said the organization worked with doctors in hospitals to help identify potential recipients below the age of 18 who are seeking treatment for their condition.
