AFTER years of suffering the hardship and pain caused by kidney failure, housewife Wong Mee Mun, who is also a Hepatitis C carrier, is finally able to have her own dialysis machine bought with the RM60,OOO donation raised with the help of Perak MCA.
However, her happiness is short-lived as she has nowhere to house the machine.
Wong, 50, from Taman Cempaka in Ipoh, said she managed to obtain permission from a dialysis centre on Jalan Raja Permaisuri Bainun to place her machine there but was warned to remove her machine once there was more demand for its service and space.
“The centre’s management told me that I will have to leave when their business starts to pick up,” she told a press conference at the Perak MCA headquarters in Ipoh recently.
The party’s Public Services and Complaints Bureau chief Alex Chan handed over the balance of RM4,000 in donations to Wong.Diagnosed with kidney failure when she was 32, Wong said she could not install the machine at her house as the machine needed a RM35,000 filter system which was only available at dialysis centres.
Due to her being a Hepatitis C carrier, she could not share her machine with other patients.
Those interested to help Wong by offering her a place to put her machine can get in touch with the department at the MCA state headquarters at 90-92, Tingkat Satu, Jalan Sultan Idris Shah, 30000 Ipoh, Perak.
