The Gift of Sight

LC Kuantan City has just sponsored the purchase of a set of lens for Tho Sze Cheh, a primary school student in Taman Tas who has congenital cataract. He was in urgent need of a cataract operation but was financially contrained from doing so as his father recently passed away.

With the sponsorship of the lens, eye surgeon Dr Vasanth from the Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan was able to successfully carry out the cataract operation on 24th November.

We visited the patient on the evening after the operation and spoke to him and his mother who was present at the hospital.

Blood Donation Drive @ HTAA Kuantan

LC Kuantan City undertook its second Blood Donation Project for the fiscal year on 22nd November. The Project was organised in a joint-venture with several organisations, namely Lembaga Pelawat Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA), Tzu Chi, Kolej Shahputra and Badan Nadwah Islamiah.

In conjunction with the blood donation drive, there was also an organ pledge drive, health screening, anti-smoking campaign and health awareness campaign.

Despite the fact that the Project was held at HTAA and the fact that it rained the whole day of event, the Project was a success with hundreds of people coming in to donate blood and take advantage of the free health screening. ADUN for Teruntum, YB Chang Hong Seong, was also on hand to provide support for the event.

2nd Blood Donation Campaign on 22nd November

LC Kuantan City will be co-organising another Blood Donation Drive, this time at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA), Kuantan on 22nd November. The event is organised jointly with Lembaga Pelawat HTAA and several other organisations including Kolej Shahputra,Tzu Chi, Badan Nadwah Islamiah and Tabung Darah, with valuable help coming from HTAA personnel as well.

In conjunction with the Blood Donation Drive, there will also be an Organ Pledge Drive, Anti-Smoking Campaign and Health Awareness Exhibition. The event starts at 9.00 am.

To promote the event, a press conference was held on 11th November, with support coming from YB Chang Hong Seong, the ADUN for Teruntum.
