I'm afraid I'll die without the money, says kidney patient


PETALING JAYA: Former tombstone engraver Foo Kwai Wah, whose kidneys failed early this year, has exhausted all his savings and is worried about whether he can continue with dialysis treatment.

Foo, 57, whose wife died in 1999 during child delivery, said he had been waiting for government subsidy for dialysis treatment, which included RM600 per month plus free injections, since March 21 and sought aid from NGOs.
