Acid attack victim still bedridden but determined to sit for SPM exams

GEORGE TOWN: The 17-year-old schoolgirl who lost her eyesight after her face was splashed with acid is determined to sit for the SPM examinations next month.

Tan Hui Linn, who still cannot speak following the attack, scribbled her intention on a piece of paper in Chinese when asked about the examination.

She then passed the note to her brother Jun Hong, 20, who said his sister, a student of SMK Convent Datuk Keramat, had only a slim chance of sitting for the examination.

“She is still bedridden at the Penang Hospital’s intensive care unit.

“Based on her physical condition now, I don’t think she will be fit in time for the examination.

“Besides, she is not well prepared for it,” said the 20-year-old undergraduate of Universiti Utara Malaysia.

On Saturday, Hui Linn and her mother Cheong Swee Lin, 50, were sleeping at their Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim home when his father came in at 3am and splashed acid on them.

Cheong, who was badly burnt, died about 10 hours later.

The corrosive acid spilled over to Hui Linn, who sustained 60% burns on her face and upper torso.

She is now permanently blind

 

Hatred and bitterness can only keep you a prisoner of the past.

Revenge can only make you bitter forever,

a prisoner of your own hatred.

We become prisoners in our own dark souls,

suffocated  by our own brooding thoughts.

Hatred and resentment wound our souls.

It opens the door for the devil to come in to do much damage,

bringing  confusion, fears, deception, depression, madness

Anger and bitterness are your real enemies.

Those who strike out are like wounded animals.

Because of pride, they resist attempts to relieve the pain.

Not easy to put the past  behind, but look what the future holds.

With God’s help, you can do almost anything..

overcoming your fears and pain.

But you have one power to redeem the past…

if you’re willing to receive God’s forgiveness,

willing to forgive others, and to trust God

to do the impossibles…to work bad into good.

"Let Me take over, "says the Lord, "feel powerless before Me,

and you’ll find true happiness and security.

Only in Me, can you find true freedom and friendship.

Reach out, grasp hold and don’t let go."

Time cannot be reversed.

what’s important in life is who we really are
n what we place our beliefs in.

we’ll lose everything around us one day.
friends come n friends go
our beloved ones will one day leave us
we can’t bring what we own now
on this earth and bring them to heaven
they’re of different values in heaven
but there’s one thing that remains eternally
n that is our souls

It is not easy to put the past behind
but look what the future holds for u.
With the help of God,
we can do almost anything,
including overcoming our fears and pains;
that is, if u allow Him
to take over your situations,
to feel powerless before Him,
that’s when supernatural things take place,
that’s when u feel true love,
secured with an eternal belonging.

It’s only in God that u can find
that eternal belonging,
so free, so close to Him…
it’s a feeling that everyone
is longing for,
deep inside us.

Do not let others pull u down;
do not let men talk u out of things.
Instead follow God’s words
n listen deep inside u...
open your ear n heart to Him
n see your life changed.

Be simple, have a little faith,
and only believe.
Once u know Him well enough,
u will see Him
in a whole new perspective.

Know where the Lord is leading you;
always follow His lead.
Don’t lose your focus
Think of God every second of your life

In the dark, u might not see or feel Him,
but will u believe in Him?
that He’s able to rescue u?
All God wants is your faith
that come from your heart.
not just by your words or your thoughts
but trust n loyalty from a sincere heart.
