A helping hand for amputees

GEORGE TOWN: Driver G. Thinesh used to worry about the cost of repairing his artificial leg, which he has been wearing for the past 15 years, as the rising cost of living left him with very little, especially now that he has a wife and two young children to feed.

But today, thanks to the Repair Free Prostheses Programme of the Che Hoon Khor Moral Uplifting Society (MUS) in Macalister Road, Thinesh and other amputees who received free prosthetic limbs can look forward to getting their prosthetic limbs repaired for free.
