Organ Donor

I am pleased to say I man­aged to register myself as an organ donor two days ago in the town hos­pital at Balik Pulau, where four or five years ago, I was politely told to take my efforts at being a more effi­cient being of exist­ence to the Pen­ang Hos­pital. Guilty as charged. I let

Online Donations

Finally, after delay­ing and depriving myself for so long, I have set up a debit card which enables me to per­form online pay­ments dir­ectly. Now I can put my money where my mouth is dir­ectly.
