A 62-year-old woman from Bukit Mertajam, Tan Poh Lee, has been suffering from diabetes for over 20 years and had to stop working since she began undergoing kidney dialysis 7 years ago.

She used to work as a dishwasher, earning a daily wage of RM30. She has been unable to work since she starting kidney dialysis 7 years ago. Her husband passed away 10 years ago. The 40-year-old only daughter is married and resides in Taiping, with infrequent contact with her mother.

She currently lives in the ancestral home in the kampung with 3 younger brothers, 2 of whom are married. Her living expenses are supported by the brothers and friends. Due to the daughter having her own family responsibilities, she can only occasionally provide some financial assistance.
