KUALA LUMPUR: For one family from Batu Caves, Friday dawned clearer than usual.

Siblings K. Viky, 35, and K. Aruvin, 33, as well as Viky’s children D. Thurga, 14, D. Navin, 16, and D. Jhoti, 13, who were all part of a group of nearly 200, benefited from a community project that provided free eye tests and glasses for those in need.
