Congrats, Rxxxxx Ong! We are glad to be part of you in this
remarkable recovery process which I consider "nothing short of a miracle
from God".
All praise to The Almighty God. It was because of the faith
we all have in you and your unweaving faith in God that have pulled you
through.
As I write these, tears of joy,love and gratitude filled my
eyes and I am sure all those reading this will have similar feelings &
emotions. Our warmest regards to your wonderful family whom we have the
opportunity to meet during your battle with cancer. It was the love and
support shown by them(your family) and your reason for living(which is
also your family) that gave you the drive, encouragement & motivation to
fight on. And fighting you did and won!!! Congratulations once again and we
shall visit you to hug and oomph you for the wonderful achievement.
Warmest regards,
James Ho

Dear Brother James Ho,
Please extend this
message to all others who know me or who are new to me (like
friends' friends).
Today marked an important milestone in my life. It is with fear, anxiety and
mixed feeling that I have to avail myself for a CT Scan and CEA (blood test)
after having undergone an operation for 3rd stage colon cancer seven months ago
and 8 rounds of chemotherapy.
The results showed that I am cleared of the spread of cancer or in
remission. I do not exactly know what it means. To me maybe this is a temporary
reprieve and there are many battles to be fought. At least I have overcome an
obstacle. I have done to the best of my abilities for the sake of my beloved
family. The past seven months have been an uncertain one in which my family
feel helpless and sadness. I know the road ahead is a long and
winding one.
Reflecting the events in the past, I truly appreciate the concern, the prayers,
words of comfort and kindness and financial contribution extended to me and the
spirit of the Serdang "coption". Please convey my thanks, sincere
appreciation and indebtedness to all of them who have helped me in one way or
another and are too numerous to name them. May you all receive the
appropriate blessings from your God
But not forgetting those who have worked hard which I would like to label them
as the task force under James Ho, Ding, Gooi, Datuk Soh, Chee Kiong, Ee Beng
Heng, Koh Yong Siang.
May God bless you all and the others.
Please do not take offense if your names are not mentioned but deep in my
heart you are not forgotten.
I hope we shall meet again under more pleasant circumstances. I shall keep you
all informed and hoping it will be good news all along.
Regards,
From
R----- Ong
Dear
All,
We
first wrote to all of you on 12/1/08 appealing
for funds(RM50K target) for Rocky Ong's colon cancer treatment.
Subsequently, the second appeal went out on 31/1/08
as
the momentum was rather slow. Then through some personal appeals on 20/3/08, we managed to secured
RM52,000.00 by 31/3/08.
What
else can we say! Congrats
to
all of you for making this effort of ours so satisfying and rewarding. Ricky
Ong is now all fired up to give it a good fight and we are sure with all your
support & prayers, he will be up and running very soon.
What
was nice to see during our campaign was that a non-Serdang came in with a
donation(big one!) - he donated to someone whom he did not know at all,
our Alumni - PAUPM(Persatuan Alumni UPM) donated generously and even members of
the public through word of mouth (cutting across racial & religious
barriers) all chipped in for a good cause.
Both
Ding Toy Huah and I(James Ho) would like to once again thank all of you
for giving us a chance to be part of this effort in raising funds for a worthy
cause. Honestly, as we write this now tears of joy and gratitude
overwhelmed our emotions - grateful and thankful for the spontaneous help
towards Ricky Ong and a feeling that we are all one as mankind.
Serdang Bolih! Serdang Bolih!
Warmest
regards,
Ding Toy Huah & James Ho
