A man battling cancer has made the heartbreaking decision to discharge himself from the hospital against medical advice so he could continue working to support his family.

Despite his condition, he returned to selling bread, soy bean and tau fu fah from his truck, saying he couldn’t afford to stop working because “my children need me.”

Ah Chong later turned to Malaysian philanthropist Kuan Chee Heng, better known as Uncle Kentang, for help in finding out what stage his cancer is at.

According to Uncle Kentang, Ah Chong was later told that he may have to wait several months for a CT scan at a government hospital.

Uncle Kentang has since appealed to the public to help raise RM1,500 or more for Ah Chong’s CT scan, with hopes of bringing him to Columbia Hospital to have his lungs examined.

“He wakes up at 1:30am every day and drives his lorry to USJ, Subang Jaya to collect bread, soy bean and tau fu fah supplies. By 5:00 AM, he’s already at his selling spot. He sells at Menara TRX from 5 AM to 10 AM, then moves to Jalan Gasing, Petaling Jaya, where he continues selling until 5:00 PM. By the time he gets home, it’s usually after 7 PM.

“This is his daily routine despite having cancer. Even after being diagnosed, he went straight back to work,” Uncle Kentang said.
