Due to a burst small intestine, Chong Teck Peng underwent emergency surgery, which saved his life. There are still 350cm of healthy small intestine remaining after the doctor removed 80cm of necrotic tissue.

Then, he must visit the hospital multiple times each month for long-term injections of medication to treat Crohn's disease.

His wife informed her that her husband is currently using an ostomy bag and must wait for the ulceration in his small intestine to gradually heal before reconnecting it.

Chong Teck Peng, a 57-year-old man from Bukit Mertajam, Penang, suffered from abdominal pain for a long time but could do nothing. After repeated tests, he was confirmed to be suffering from Crohn's disease. Due to persistent abdominal pain, Chong Teck Peng was once diagnosed with stomach pain and acid reflux. However, as his condition did not improve despite numerous doctor visits, it was later determined that he had Crohn's disease.

The family of Chong Teck Peng is extremely appreciative of the public's assistance in raising the RM115,000 that Teck Peng needed so that her husband and father can have a chance at receiving treatment.
