    Fund Raising For Ahmad Fahrin’s Medical Treatment In Taiwan

    If any of you would like to help, please go to https://give.asia/story/help_fund_for_fahrins_treatment_in_taiwan.

    ***

    I am Dalilah Hani, wife of Ahmad Fahrin. We are raising funds for Fahrin to receive medical treatment in Taiwan for a spinal cord regeneration treatment at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital. 3 years ago, on the 11th of August, my husband Fahrin, met with a road traffic accident while on his way home from work. The motorcycle he was riding was part of a chain collision on the Pan-Island Expressway. He collided with a car and was flung from his bike, landing on the hood of the car. As a result, he sustained a traumatic brain injury and spinal injury that left him paralysed from neck down.

    At the point of the accident, we had just received the keys to our own home and I had just given birth to a 3-month old baby girl. We were just building our lives. We had loads of plans and dreams that got shattered in a blink of an eye. He wasn’t able to hold our daughter and missed out on alot of her milestones due to his long stay in the hospital. And due to the injuries, he has been certified permanently incapacitated to work leaving me as the sole breadwinner.

    When Fahrin was brought to the Accident & Emergency department at National University Hospital, doctors had to perform an emergency operation and had prepared us for the worst. They predicted only a 15% chance of survival. But we took any chance we had and by God’s will he made it through. And for that, we are utterly thankful. But his road to recovery was a long and rocky one with multiple surgeries that followed to help him to stabilise. Since the accident, he depends fully on the motorized wheelchair for mobility and needs help to perform activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, transferring and toileting.

    He spent approximately 12 months away from home comprising of about 2 weeks in Intensive Care Unit, 2 months in High Dependency ward and 4 months in a regular ward before being transferred out to a rehabilitation hospital where he was for about 6 months. But even then he was not spared from hospital stays as he still needed to be warded for subsequent seizures, urine infection as well as for pain management.

    His main Consultant who has been giving us advice has high hopes in his recovery. However, he feels that Fahrin has not benefited much from the treatment here. We were informed that he might benefit from a spinal cord regeneration procedure (currently a study) in Taiwan. The estimated amount needed for his treatment in Taiwan is around SGD45,000 which is not covered under our insurance. Your kind donations will go towards Fahrin’s cost of treatment as well as for daily expenses and accommodation in Taiwan. We seek your kind donations and prayers to help ease our journey to recovery, God-willing. And may God bless all of you for your kind help and donations.

  • Suspek Pecah Masuk 10 Masjid Dicekup

    Suspek Pecah Masuk 10 Masjid Dicekup

    Seorang penganggur ditahan kerana disyaki terbabit dalam sekurang-kurangnya 10 kes pecah masjid yang berlaku dalam tempoh Januari hingga Ogos, di daerah Pontian. Ketua Polis Daerah Pontian, Superintendan Zakaria Abdul Rahman berkata,  suspek berusia 21 tahun itu ditahan di rumahnya di Jalan Parit Mesjid pada 23 Ogos lalu hasil maklumat risikan dan cap jari yang diperoleh di tempat kejadian.

    “Bukan setakat tabung masjid, tetapi peralatan pembesar suara, komputer dan mesin cetak turut disapu licin asalkan dapat wang. Tambahan pula ada yang sanggup membeli. Tidak kurang daripada 15 kes kecurian yang berlaku di masjid dilaporkan dalam tempoh lapan bulan ini. Justeru, satu pasukan khas telah dibentuk bagi menyelesaikan kes-kes tersebut. Hasilnya, polis berjaya menahan suspek yang mempunyai rekod jenayah lampau berkaitan kecurian sebelum ini,” katanya.

    Beliau berkata, susulan tangkapan itu, dua suspek dipercayai merupakan pembeli barangan curi tersebut berjaya ditangkap di rumahnya di bandar Pontian. “Suspek berusia 28 dan 34 tahun menjalankan kegiatan membaik pulih peralatan elektrik yang dibeli daripada suspek di rumahnya. Barang yang dibaik pulih akan dijual semula sebagai barang terpakai dengan harga yang jauh lebih murah,” katanya. Menurutnya, beberapa peralatan komputer dan sistem pembesar suara berjaya dirampas daripada dua suspek yang ditangkap, dua hari lalu.

    “Kesemua suspek ditahan reman sehingga 30 Ogos ini dan kes disiasat di bawah Seksyen 457 Kanun Keseksaan bagi kesalahan mencuri yang boleh disabitkan hukuman penjara sehingga 14 tahun jika sabit kesalahan,” katanya. Dalam pada itu, Zakaria turut meminta jawatankuasa masjid tidak membiarkan wang kutipan derma disimpan terlalu lama di dalam tabung masjid. “Jangan beri peluang kepada pencuri. Jadi langkah keselamatan perlu diambil berat oleh setiap jawatankuasa masjid. Ini kerana sasaran pencuri lagi tabung masjid sahaja tetapi apa sahaja yang berharga di dalam masjid termasuk komputer turut dicuri. Pemasangan kamera litar tertutup di masjid juga berguna dan membantu,” katanya.

  • “Have Some Heart For Other Patrons, Hoggers Please Leave”; The Dim Sum Place @ North Bridge Road

    “Have Some Heart For Other Patrons, Hoggers Please Leave”; The Dim Sum Place @ North Bridge Road

    I am so hesitant to post this here. But to be fair lah for all the people who loves to eat here and yet had to queue for abt 45-60mins. I was utterly disgusted by the behaviours of the patrons there especially the ladies who came with their girlfriends. I was there at 7.40pm and seated at 8pm. When I got my seat, I looked around and saw tables were already serving food so which means mine will be served quite shortly. 30mins later when I am almost done. I looked around again cos I didn’t saw anyone leaving or coming in. And I realised these ladies were chitchatting with almost empty plates and bowls (and they had been there longer than us). And I was abt to leave at 8.40pm… they are still chitchatting ok. Not one or two tables but few tables. Hellloooo… this place is so sought after, pls think abt those who are queuing up outside lah. The table next to mine especially… 40mins ok… 3 dishes and two drinks… they finished their food when I sat down… and when we left… they were still talking. I told the cashier that their restaurant are not crowded but it’s because patrons are hogging the seat as if they are in a buffet restaurant. She agreed and said that is their main problem and the management cant do anything. So patrons of The dim sum place… great if u love the food… but please.. have some heart…. THINK abt the patrons who are waiting outside and also these people are doing business… u are disrupting their business because of ur selfishness. Even if u wish to chitchat at least keep the food and drinks coming lah. Ur refillable drinks doesn’t count! Pfffttttt!
