After the stroke, he was paralysed, he was paralysed, and when he was paralysed, he was
00:13
sick for help, he was sick for help because he had six children, between four to twenty
00:19
years old, so the elders also not working, all study here, so he appealed to the public
00:28
for help, appealed to the media, and also appealed to the NGO for help, and then of
00:37
course, one NGO which responded, from Kajang, the NGO from Kajang responded, and collection
00:50
has been going on, but he don't know, he doesn't know how much, then he finally, he
00:58
approached Sinchew, he approached local media, Sinchew, and of course Sinchew got a foundation,
01:07
so they helped him with 2,500 per month, for three years, I mean this part you can get,
01:16
then when he got the local media to help him, foundation to help him, he stopped the Kajang,
01:26
one of the NGO, I'm not proper to mention the name, but the NGO said, ok, you can stop,
01:38
but we give you only 2,000, so he was ok, with 2,500, he managed to survive, so this
01:46
year, they found that there's been so many, this so-called foundation, i.e. charity foundation,
01:55
and also not only, and also several other name, they will put i.e. maybe other name
02:01
also, but what they know, i.e. charity foundation, that they are looking for fund for him, so
02:10
you see, and they use all the pictures, all the pictures, to show that they are in trouble,
02:19
and they ask the public to help, so of course, public are not responded, from what we know,
02:26
public and so on, but the account all went into unknown account, I just show you, all
02:36
went into this unknown account, where I repeat to you, Yap Ji Wah, which he doesn't know,
02:42
so this is, I can tell, it's a very, it's a scammer job.
03:12
So, you see, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very,
03:19
it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very,
03:26
it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very,
