I have a heart for single parents. When I was first approached by the spokesperson for these single mothers of my constituency, I was told that they have been given free health check in Kuala Lumpur but was having difficulty coordinating transport to ferry them there. I thought of how the local council could assist these less fortunate ones and I gave a call to Dato’ YDP of MPSJ. He arranged for the MPSJ bus to take these single mothers to do their free health check.
I was there to meet the single mothers and to send them off. Very recently I met a young lady from USJ, she’s only a year older than me and she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Both her parents are no longer around, she’s very much an orphan and is still single. Kanser Network (KanWork) is assisting her. She sat in front of me and asked me what would life be like for her after chemotherapy. I have lost loved ones to cancer and I can understand her concerns. Diseases discriminate no one. We must never forget to help or take along the less fortunate ones as we move society forward.
