After the removal of the cataract from her right eye on 7/11/2025, Mdm Letchmy received treatment for her left eye. As she was about to be discharged from the hospital, she expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the Lions Club of George Town Mutiara (LCGTM) and Pantai Hospital Penang. She said that she can resume her daily tasks and routines to assist her husband. Before the surgery, she faced difficulties due to blurred vision and was financially constrained, which made her situation even more challenging. 

On 19/12/2025, Lions visited Mdm Letchmy in the hospital. Again, she expressed her gratitude to the LCGTM, Pantai Hospital Penang, and Dr. Yew Yih Chian for their contributions in helping her regain her sight. 

This initiative represents yet another significant humanitarian effort by the Lions Club of George Town Mutiara.

On 10 December 2025, the Lions continued their Monthly Hunger Relief Project, bringing comfort and compassion to more than 70 Residents of Padang Tembak at Dewan MPKK.

The residents arrived expecting their usual exercise session—and their joy was obvious as they danced with such energy that some ended up drenched in sweat. Even after the session ended, they asked for one more round of light aerobics, eager to keep the spirit alive.

Afterward, the Lions lovingly distributed meal boxes and bread, ensuring that every resident went home not only nourished but also seen, valued, and cared for.

OC for Hunger Relief PP Sam Miew Heng reported that it was a heartwarming day where service, fellowship, and humanity came together in the most meaningful way.

On 1 January 2025, the Lions of LC George Town Mutiara visited four adopted families: the families of Tan Siew Poh, Gan Bee Lay, Munsamy Anjang, and Alemeloo Ammal. The club gave them food supplies and groceries. Our Lions received a warm welcome. More importantly, the supplies they had been waiting for will sustain them for another month. The smiles on their faces reflect the satisfaction of the Lions with the day's project.

 

Medical Application Received!

Upon the recommendation of a clinic physician in Kulim, Mdm Therasa, who suffers from blurred vision, reached out to LCGTM to request financial assistance for her eye treatment. 

On 30 November, the Interview Committee, led by PP Lily Teoh and accompanied by CP Danny, who served as her driver, reached the end of their journey after traversing paths without proper roads. They successfully found her kutcha house in Butterworth following an hour and a half of travel. We express our gratitude to PP Danny Lim for his role as the driver. PP Lily assessed her financial circumstances.
