GEORGE TOWN: Lim Kim Sung may be struggling with life, making ends meet while suffering from filariasis (elephantiasis) on his left leg, but the octogenarian has a heart of gold - sharing the little he has to help the less fortunate.

His kind deeds include handing over some of his meagre savings to a charity organisation for the visually impaired and buying food for underprivileged orphans.
