Timely aid for woman with polio
RM1 million campaign sponsored by brewery aimed to help the needy
PETALING JAYA: Getting by was a sheer struggle for wheelchair-bound Yee Pen Yeng (

“It was not much as I would only be called to work when my help was needed,” said the 57-year-old polio victim.
She lost her only source of income when the florist shop folded in August due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Yee, who was diagnosed with the disease at three, is living on a meagre RM300 welfare aid.
