\n<\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/center>Just when the heart from the first donor was rejected by her body (due to her intense immune system), miracles happened. A second heart<\/a> from another donor came to the rescue. And thank God, the operation was successful and the second heart was well accepted by her body. It was a great decision by Yoon Kiong’s (20-year-old accident victim) parents to donate his organs for the needy. Perhaps, his death is fated and a “pre-plan” for him to share his life with others as despite being brain dead, his lungs, kidneys and heart were still ‘alive’. That’s the miracle of life.<\/p>\n


\nWhile Hui Yi only have to wait less than a year to get not only one heart but two hearts, there are thousands of other patients still waiting for an organ donor. Some even waited until they died. She was lucky because with the help of the media, the public is informed and her touching story helped to build public awareness. Compared to other nations, organ donation in Malaysia is still far below par. Only 110,000 pledges have been received so far. This is due to the popular religious beliefs that donating organs will make “a dead person incomplete” and thus cannot go to heaven. However, in all religions, none is against organ donations. In fact, it’s a act an ultimate act of charity. I remember a story told by a monk how the Great Buddha sacrificed his own body to feed a starving tigress that eventually not only saved her but also her cubs. Of course, we’re not forced to do such act, but at least donating our organs after we died can be a sign of self-detachment from our body and a self-less act of not only ending our sufferings but also the sufferings of others.<\/p>\n

I’m a registered organ donor. I don’t know whether you have signed up as one, but if you’re willing to sign up, you may do so in all General Hospitals near you or visit Rayma’s Website<\/a> for info. Remember, whether you believe in heaven or not, “the way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.<\/em> (Buddha)”.<\/span><\/p>\n
