It is rather a distressing moment when the breadwinner of a family is unable to earn a living anymore. Eng Ah Kiat (Ng), who works as a plumbing worker, is currently unable to move around as he accidentally fell off from the ceiling when he was trying to fix a water tank. As a result, he broke his pelvis and back bones, and fractured both his wrists. Being the breadwinner of the family, Ng is worried about the family’s financial burdens more than his injuries.

Ng was being treated in the hospital for 2 weeks. To date, both Ng’s wrists are bandaged and he needs to use cushion to fix his broken back and pelvic bones. Ng would not be able to move around until all his injuries have recovered. The doctor in charge broke the news to Ng that those injuries might take few months or up to more than a year to be recovered; the Ng family would lose their income for a long term. Luckily, all the medical expenses were covered by Ng’s employer and this has, indeed, lessened their worry.

Ng has three children whom they are still young. Ng claimed that it was rather an uphill struggle even before his injuries; he was unable to afford massive living expenses, inflation and school fees of his three children with his low income. Ng too has not been paying the rental for more than 4 years. Fortunately, the landlord is a kind-hearted person and he allows them to pay him once their financial status is getting better. And now that he is unable to work, the financial burden of the family is getting heavier. Yet his wife is unable to help to reduce the burden as she needs to take care of Ng and their children.

Ng hopes that he could recover as soon as possible to start earning. Yayasan Nanyang Press, hereby, urges any supporting readers to give them a helping hand.
