Congratulations George & Van!



Well. What can we say to a third-time father except CONGRATULATIONS!

Veronica is her name. The third of their three beautiful angels. George should seriously consider changing his name to Charlie. Could we or should we expect a "Bosley" in the making?

A Potential Candidate

Please state your preference in the comment section. A final decision will be taken after 25 September 2005 (to allow time for many of the boys who do not regularly access this site).

Ng Kah Xuan, who is just a week old, is in hospital and fighting for her life.

The infant, suffering from serious congenital heart disease, had to be rushed from Ipoh to the Gleneagles Medical Centre (GMC) here on Wednesday to receive corrective heart surgery.

Accompanying Kah Xuan to Penang were her parents, Ng Chee Meng, 31, and Lee Yew Bing, 28, from their home in Ipoh.

GMC consultant paediatric cardiologist Dr Sim Joo Seng said Ng suffers from a large hole in the wall that separates the upper two chambers of her heart and another hole that separates the lower two chambers. Other complications have also set in.

On Wednesday, surgery was performed on Kah Xuan, but there is a need for a second operation today.

The total cost of her two operations is expected to be about RM50,000.

“We were shocked and sad when we found out that Kah Xuan is suffering from heart disease,” said Yew Bing, a housewife.

“We appeal to the public to help us as we cannot afford to pay for the surgery.”

Chee Meng, a freelance carpenter, said he does not have a steady income but when there are jobs, he earns between RM1,200 to RM1,500 a month.

Members of the public who wish to help the family, can send cheques payable to New Straits Times, with the name of Ng Kah Xuan written on the reverse side, and address it to: The Cashier, Finance Department/Charity Unit, New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd, Balai Berita, No. 31, Jalan Riong, 59100 Kuala Lumpur.

Proposal on Utilisation of Charity Fund

On 5 September (at a meeting attended by a few of the boys), the proposal made by Joseph Martin was adopted by a majority decision. The proposal suggested the fund to be channelled to give/save the life of a child. This is symbolic to the thought that a life had been lost but a new one begins. The meeting further proposed:

That Joseph Martin, Basil and Lim Hee Keong be responsible to identify and select a suitable candidate to receive the donated sum. The criteria for selection are:

  1. It must be a Malaysian child below the age of 18.
  2. The child is suffering from a life threatening illness and in need of urgent medical attention(death may result if proper medical assistance is not available in a timely manner).
  3. No distinction should be made in terms of gender, race or religion.
  4. Insufficient fund is available to assist the child to secure proper medical care.

Meanwhile, more fund can still be raised to support the above cause. The above charity is a one-time event only.

A further proposal was made for LSBC76 Boys to adopt a continuous charitable spirit by making annual contributions to charity. This will not be linked to the HS Raj Fund although it is inspired by his untimely demise.
