organ donation

To all Malaysian,
Hai, I am sure that u all has been heard about Tee Hui Yi getting new heart. The news that had been shows us about important of organ donation. In fact, only 108000 of Malaysian had registered with National Transplant Registry (The Star, Oct 7). There is more we can do rather just mourning over the death of the one that we love, but we can always make a few other who are hoping to continue with their life happy. To all Malaysia, remember that we live in one nation and please don’t differentiate each other by the colour of our skin. What Hui Yi received is a great gift of Ramadan (YG, The Star, Oct 6).Muslim should not be hesitant to pledge their organs as this noble deed is in line with the Islamic teachings. Neither should Muslim be worried about their organs being donated to Muslim or non-Muslim. In teaching of Islam, to safe a life, the difference in the religion must not be a barrier.( Islamic Development Department Director General Datuk Wan Mohammad Sheikh, The Star, Oct 7).
