After four years of poor vision, Din can see clearly again
A stranger’s generosity helped pay for Mohd Din Deli’s cataract surgery, restoring his sight and giving him the chance to rebuild his life.
Mohd Din Deli, 65, struggled for years with poor vision before cataract surgery restored his sight, granting him freedom and hope. Once reliant on a walking stick to navigate city streets, Din's worsening eyesight forced him to give up his security guard job and live in a budget hotel near Pudu Sentral, relying on the generosity of strangers for food and money.
Businessman Jeyenderan Ramasamy noticed Din's situation and helped arrange for the surgery, which cost him RM1,800. Dr Manjit Singh, a consultant ophthalmologist, noted that Din's cataracts were advanced, but the surgery on both eyes on August 4 successfully restored his vision. Now able to recognize faces and move around independently, Din is grateful for the newfound independence.
Jeyenderan also offered Din a job at his company, giving him a chance to rebuild his life. On National Day, Din eagerly anticipates watching fireworks with his own eyes, a true Merdeka for him after years of darkness.
