KUALA LUMPUR: Melina Jokita, an orphan from Timor Leste, stepped out of the National Heart Institute (IJN) yesterday with a wide smile on her face after a successful operation. 

The spunky girl was born with congenital atrial septial defect and a mitral valve leakage (hole in the heart) that left her suffering for years in Timor Leste.
