Being a permanent resident, he is not eligible for the country's free medical service. Financial problems also prevented, him from undergoing the surge.

Lim has two young children and has been with the Royal Brunei Police Force for the last 19 years as a maintenance worker for the Police golf club located in the capital. His father used to work for Pehin Dato Gob's late father for many years as a shop assistant in the late 1950s.

He received a cash donation from Pehin Goh amounting to $23,750 yesterday for his lifesaving surgery.

Other magnanimous people like the members of the Tutong Chung Hwa School Ex-student Association who are giving $3,250 and the Royal Brunei Police Force with their contributions amounting to $3,000 are doing their part to save the life of this public servant and family man. "Its has been like a new year's gift for me receiving the donations and it was unexpected for us," said Lim.

The ceremony was held at the Goh Hock Kee Motors' premises and was witnessed by his wife and their two children.-- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
