Illegal kidney transplant dilemma

PETALING JAYA: Owing to the lack of organs for transplant in the country, a 59-year-old kidney failure patient forked out close to half a million ringgit to fly to another country to have an illegal kidney transplant done.

Lee (not her real name) resorted to spending over US$100,000 (RM406,740) for the illegal transplant last year.
