For his work, Lim has been awarded the Medal for Life — Singapore’s highest glory in plasma donation, for those who have donated more than 200 days.
However, he says that his accomplishments are “nothing wonderful.” ” It’s piece of me”, he said. ” I’m just eager to help”.
His companions have a different view. To Chee Keong, who discovered Lim’s efforts only when he read about it in Lianhe Zaobao, was filled with admiration.
” I received blood once because ( my ) blood count dropped … ( so ) this is a very good thing”, said the 56-year-old.
Tay Teck Seng even admired his brother’s responsibility, especially as the 80-year-old when needed many transfusions in his fight against liver cancer, using as many as 14 bags of blood during his transplant.
Lim’s wish is that he , continues for as long as his figure allows, though there is no going past 75. He also hopes that younger, healthy donors” can come forward … to help the Red Cross replenish ( its ) stocks”.
