Filed under: Helping the less fortunate
If I was looking gloomy , it was because I really was. I visited the Miri Society for the Blind at Krokop Jee Foh 8 on Thursday[10th April] to meet this old abandoned blind woman. She stayed in Bekenu but was rejected by her family. A caring police officer tried sending her back to her home but 
was not successful as the family again rejected her. Who would do such a thing to a blind old lady? Anyway, together with volunteers, the caring police officer and some governmant servants, we tried to find a solution for her. Pending the outcome now that the muslim community, with the assistance of YB Rosey from Bekenu, is helping this case, a kind hearted family in Padang Kerbau is taking care of her temporarily. We hope that everything will turn up right eventually.

Good initiative.Malaysian need leaders who care for the society regardless of race or religion
Peter 04.13.08 @ 4:47 amI am agree with sir because how could that family did a such things to that blind old lady. That is unacceptable thing to be done. They should learn to care like Sir that care for society.
Anthony 04.20.08 @ 10:23 pmDear YB Andy,
May I have the blind lady address? My friends and I are in the midst of doing some charity work for the less fortunate. Hopefully we can give this lady a visit.

Andy Chia 09.30.08 @ 1:13 amThat incident happened many months back. The Blind Centre at Krokop and a kind Malay family had agreed to take care of her after that. I believe everything is still ok since I have not heard any more complaints. However, I will call you if anything arises that requires further assistance.
TQ once again. May God Bless all of you!!
Rgds,
