Ong Chen Lai was a formerly tall and muscular fisherman, who was diagnosed with liver cancer last December, and passed away in June this year. His family now faces financial difficulties.
Ong Chen Lai was married to his Indonesian wife, Li Li Hua (36 years old), 18 years ago. They have two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter, Weng Hui Xin (15 years old) is studying in Form 3 and the second daughter, Weng Hui Pei (14 years old) is studying in Form 2. Meanwhile, the youngest son, Weng Quan Wei (12 years old) is in Standard 6.
The children are all high academic achievers, especially Hui Xin, who is top in class. The sisters work at the village coffee shop part-time during the weekends. They also tutor to make some money for buying text books as well as for paying school fees.
The late Ong Chen Lai was a fisherman all his life but did not earn much. During his chemotherapy, he had to bear a large amount of medical expenses, which had become the largest burden at home. During that time, his wife worked as a nanny to help take care of two children, where she earned RM1600 every month. However, the family’s monthly living expenses plus medical expenses came up to more than RM2000.
The family lost financial support ever since Ong Chen Lai passed away. Therefore, they had come to Yayasan Nanyang Press (YNP) to appeal for help. Starting August, YNP will send RM1000 to them, which will subsidise their monthly living expenses.
Their house owner had been attempting to end the lease for various reasons. Fortunately, a kind local person lent a hand after he found out about this. He is willing to let them live in his abandoned fishing shed, but the shed needs to be repaired in order to be made more homely.
As such, Yayasan Nanyang Press has decided to organise “The 12th Visitation of The [16 Navigators II]” on 30th August 2015 (Sunday) for Ong Chen Lai’s family, whereby a number of volunteers will be required to assist in repairing their home. Yayasan Nanyang Press would like to encourage participation from the general public to join this meaningful charitable event. If you are interested to be a volunteer, sponsor or partner of [16 Navigators II], please do not hesitate to contact Yayasan Nanyang Press via phone (03-76508651 / 694 / 675 / 669 / 662) or e-mail (nyfound@nanyang.com.my). If you are unable to attend the event, but would still like to support this event, you are welcome to make a financial contribution. Cheques can be made payable to YAYASAN NANYANG PRESS (OCBC 701-120679-6), after which you are requested to fax (03-76508627) or email the bank-in slip to YNP.

格高大健硕的翁进来原以捕鱼为生,去年12月被诊断患上肝癌后,并于今年6月份病逝,一家四口经济顿陷入困境。
翁进来18年前迎娶印尼棉兰女子李丽华(现年36岁),夫妇俩育有2女1男。长女翁惠欣(15岁)和次女惠倍(14岁)皆就读双溪泗汶K.佐哈励中学中三及中二,幼男铨蔚(12岁)在峇眼巴硕华小念六年级。
翁家儿女都品学兼优,惠欣考获全班第一名。爸爸患病后,姐妹俩周末都到村内咖啡店兼职,在家教补习,赚钱补贴家用,也利用赚来的钱购买参考书和学费。
丈夫在世时出海捕鱼也仅能赚取有限入息,患病后,生活陷入困境。化疗期间,大笔的医药费,也成了家里的最大负担。而当时李丽华当保姆,替人照顾两个孩子,每月收入1600令吉。不过,一家人每月的生活费加医药费超过2000令吉,让她难以应付。
为此,向南洋报业基金寻求协助,登报筹款,以解经济困境。而南洋报业基金也会在今年8月份开始,每个月资助他们一家的生活费RM1000。如今丈夫病逝后,一家大小顿时失去依靠。
屋主更在此时,以各种理由企图结束租约,不把屋子租借给他们居住,让翁家雪上加霜。庆幸当地一位善心人士得知此事,并伸出援手,愿意将一家荒废了的渔村屋无条件捐出让他们一家居住。只是该屋子荒废已久,破烂不堪,需要翻新才居住。
于是《南洋報業基金》已決定于2015年8月30日(星期日)為此家庭進行第12场16導航2之溫馨探訪,屆時將需要大批志工協助整理及修復他們的家園。
因此,希望各界善心人士加入 南洋报业基金【16导航温馨探访2】活动,有意要成为【16导航2】赞助商、合作伙伴或志愿者的朋友,请致电到南洋报业基金 (03-76508651 / 694 / 675 / 669 / 662), 或电邮至 nyfound@nanyang.com.my。 若您无法出席【16导航】温馨探访活动,也可以乐捐的方式支持此活动。请将您的善款汇 至 YAYASAN NANYANG PRESS (OCBCI101-108445-4),然后再把汇款和个人资料传真到 03-76508627。欢迎游览南洋报业基金网站 www.yayasan-nanyang.org.
