KLANG: Several Chinese moral societies in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor are collaborating to offer Malaysians of all races free prosthetic legs at Persatuan Kebajikan Che Sheng Khor, Klang from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on 14 January.

Yayasan Sosial Moral Sejati Surya Gemilang Ming Ya Shan Ge, Jakarta, Indonesia, its counterpart, and another similar society, Persatuan Pendidikan Akhlak Meng Lip Sean Kor in Sungai Lalang, Sungai Petani, Kedah, are present to provide technical support for customised prosthetic legs.

The charity project is aimed at providing Malaysians of all races in need of a prosthetic leg to improve their quality of life in line with the society’s core value of helping others in need.

It was reported earlier that Persatuan Pendidikan Akhlak Meng Lip Sean Kor in Sungai Petani had contacted its counterpart in Jakarta for technical support to produce customised prosthetic legs for the needy.

The latter started producing prosthetic legs last year, and the collaboration would help reduce the cost of producing customised prosthetic legs.

The participating societies are: Persatuan Kebajikan Che Sheng Khor Klang, Persatuan Memperbaiki Akhlak Che Kia Khor Kuala Lumpur, Persatuan Amal dan Akhlak Che Pei Kok Sekinchan, Persatuan Meninggikan Akhlak Chee Ying Khor Kajang, and Pertubuhan Pendidikan Akhlak Ji Sing Shan She Kepong.

Those in need of a prosthetic leg can contact the societies in Klang at 012-226 3395 or 019-218 2433, Sekinchan 017-293 8821, Kajang 012-207 9295, Kuala Lumpur 011-2369 1098, and Kepong 012-302 0303.

Donors are welcome to sponsor RM2,000 for a prosthetic leg.
