> Man donated blood 105 times since 1972
Isnin Mohd Som, 60, from Parit Buntar, Muar, is still an active blood donor. He has donated 105 times since 1972. He was 17 when he first donated blood for a sick relative in hospital. "During that few days in the hospital, I saw many patients suffering from all kinds of sickness. The experience brought me a sense of sympathy and I became determined to continue donating blood," he said. Beginning that year, Isnin has not failed to donate blood at least three times a year. His commitment has also encouraged his 25-year-old son, Mohd Firdaus, to give his blood to charity. "I don't have a lot of money to help but with blood donation, I am happy to be able to help those in need," he said.
