Malaysia’s got golden hearts


Teddy Doctor: S. Madhusudhan, who started a mobile clinic for the homeless, says the Golden Hearts Award inspired others to help those in need. — CHAN TAK KONG/The Star

PETALING JAYA: Since December last year, both friends and strangers have contacted Shirin Aziha Shahidan to find out how they can help “Uncle Ah San” – an 81-year-old widower suffering from elephantiasis living on his own – and start their own projects to help the needy.

More people have volunteered for Dr S. Madhusudhan’s Teddy Mobile Clinic for the homeless and also found other ways to help those living on the streets.
