Bapa ubah suai kerusi demi lindungi anak
Keadaan anaknya yang semakin buruk menguji kemampuan seorang bapa, ketika keluarga itu berusaha mengumpul dana bagi rawatan segera.
Kong Hean Fui, a 15-year-old boy from Puchong, has taken it upon himself to safeguard his 15-year-old son, Wei Yang, from self-harm due to uncontrollable movements. He has modified a kitchen chair, attaching straps to prevent Wei Yang from harming himself when his movements become out of control. However, the straps often need to be readjusted or replaced due to the intensity of Wei Yang's movements.
While the chair provides some protection, it is not always able to fully prevent accidents, especially during sudden outbursts. Wei Yang, who suffers from Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, a rare genetic condition, has also been increasingly difficult to control despite medication. His parents hope for a medical procedure called DBS, which involves implanting electrodes to help control abnormal brain activity, but the cost exceeds their financial means.
They have received a partial donation of around RM40,000, but still need between RM280,000 to RM300,000 for the DBS procedure. The funds are currently held by the Suriana Welfare Society Malaysia, which is assisting the family in raising the necessary funds.
