Date of visitation / 日期: 28/7/13 (Sun/星期日)
Beneficiary / 受惠者: Lee Chan Tai 李进娣
Age / 年龄: 63
Venue / 地址: Selangor

Lee Chan Tai is a 63-year-old elderly living with her husband aged 72 years old, and they have a son and three daughters. When the children were younger, Lee’s husband worked as a taxi driver whilst she worked in various construction sites, managing both of their incomes to raise their children. Years of overwork in the construction sites wrecked Lee’s health and she had undergone angioplasty a few years ago. She also suffers from diabetes and arthritis. Her husband retired at the age of 55 with a provident fund but soon lost all his money to gambling. Currently, Lee’s husband is unemployed and is dependent on Lee.

Lee’s eldest daughter has divorced her husband and she and her two daughters also are dependents of Lee. Her eldest daughter suffers from mild depression and is being treated in a hospital. Frequent medical appointments have caused Lee’s eldest daughter to lose a proper job and as a result, she helps Lee to do ordinary cleaning in a karaoke outlet. Lee’s second daughter lives in Port Klang with her husband. Her second daughter is a housewife and her husband works as a government officer; they raise two children aged 13 and 8. Lee’s third daughter lives in a low-cost apartment in Subang Jaya. Currently, Lee’s husband and her daughters are unemployed. Her only son is a freelance worker and occasionally would give Lee RM100.

Lee is the sole breadwinner in the family. She has to work continuously to earn a living despite the fact that she suffers from various illnesses. Besides working in the karaoke outlet, she would scavenge for useful materials that can be resold for value. Lee’s house is shabby and the rooftop would leak whenever it rains. The bathroom and kitchen are also in really bad condition.

Lee’s grandchildren do not have a proper learning environment even though her grandchildren have done well in their education. They wish that their tuition fees can be donated by generous people. One of the supporting donors of Yayasan Nanyang Press, Mr. Brian, immediately donated a year’s worth of tuition fees upon learning this news. If anyone is willing to give them a hand, please contact Yayasan Nanyang Press. Yayasan Nanyang Press urges the public to donate any extra reference books, dictionaries and stationery to the children.

Yayasan Nanyang Press wishes to renovate their house. The 12th visitation will be held on 28th July 2013 (Sunday) at 9.30 a.m. together with E-Excel, ASTRO, Buffalo, Tai Thong Group, Jasper Promenade, BaoBei Reading Wonderland, JULIE’S, SUPER, various sponsors and also the Volunteers of 16 Navigators, who will be heading to Subang Kampung Melayu to repair Lee’s house. The cost of the repairs will be covered by the fund that has been raised through the MARTELL Cordon Bleu 100th Anniversary Charity Dinners 2012 with the support of Pernod Ricard Malaysia.

For those who are interested, please feel free to join this activity!

现年63岁的李进娣,与丈夫彭安(72岁)育有一子三女,年轻时,其丈夫是开计程车维生,李阿姨则是在建筑工地做粗活,生活也只是足以养活一家六口。年纪渐长的李阿姨,因长年挑担粗活,操劳过度于数年前曾经进行疏通心血管手术,本身也罹患糖尿病与关节炎等病况。其丈夫彭安在55岁退休后,领取了公积金,就投入五花十色的国度,一年内在赌途上败光了一生积蓄,现为无业人士依靠着李阿姨。

李阿姨的大女儿(彭秀芳)本身家庭不和,离婚后其儿子跟随前夫家,留下两个女儿与她投靠李阿姨,但因本身患有轻度忧郁症也需经常回医院复症,无法工作,平时只能帮忙李阿姨打扫一家卡拉OK厅。二女儿与其丈夫居住吧生港口,女儿是家庭主妇,丈夫是政府人员,育有两名小孩分别13岁与8岁。三女儿一家居住于疏邦再也区廉价组屋,目前丈夫与女儿皆无业状态。单身的大儿子本身也以做散工为主,若好景时也会给约莫100令吉李阿姨,但都属于极少数。

李阿姨本是到了含饴弄孙的年岁,但家庭状况并不允许,就算本身恶疾缠身,为了生活她还是咬紧牙根子,挑起家庭经济支柱养活现在的一家五口。平时除了卡拉OK厅打扫的固定收入来源外,其他家里开销都得依靠李阿姨拾荒过活。住了快四十年的老祖屋也因长年失修,只要一下雨屋顶就会漏水,屋内房间的旧式楼板也因长年失修关系也有点下陷的状态,厨房与浴室更是破旧不堪。

与李阿姨同住的外孙女心仪、子雯,因家庭状况不允许,就算本身成绩优异也无法得到更多额外的学习,因此她们希望有善心人士可以捐助补习费用,好让她们继续学习,本报长期捐助者布莱恩先生得知状况后马上答应捐助其中一名一年的补习费用,若有善心人士愿意捐助另一名或她们接下去的补习费用,欢迎联络南洋报业基金。同时南洋报业基金也呼吁若有善心人士家里有多余的参考书、国英华语辞典、文具等都可交到基金会,以便转交给她们。

南洋报业基金决定帮助他们翻新家园,并于7月28日(星期日)早上9时半联同 E-Excel, ASTRO 本地圈、牛头牌特工队、大同集团、嘉玉贸易有限公司、宝贝阅读乐园、JULIE’S, SUPER, 各赞助商以及【16导 航】的志工们, 将第十二场的【16导 航】温馨探访移动到梳邦新村(Subang, Kg Melayu)为李阿姨粉刷屋子以及美化家园,希望他们可以拥有一个完善健康的屋子。由于,李阿姨住家在市区内,所以此次并无白队活动,但还是欢迎大家报名黑队用劳力来展示你的爱心。
