HOUSEWIFE Mathavee Perumal @ Norfauziana Abdullah, 40, is in need of financial aid urgently and Putera MIC is appealing on her behalf for generous Malaysians to assist her.
The Bandar Kinrara resident gave birth to a baby boy on Sept 15, and has four other children.
Her husband Ibrahim Yaakub, 46, who used to work as a trader, has been lying in a coma at a hospital in Kuala Lumpur since March 19 following an accident at home.
“Ibrahim passed out after he fell down at home. He was rushed to the hospital and had an operation, where the doctor discovered a blood clot in his brain,” said Norfauziana’s sister-in-law Syamsuriah Mustaffa.
Some financial assistance: Kamalanathan (second from right) presenting Norfauziana the cash. With them are SK Assunta 1 Parent-Teacher Association committee members Dina Rozario (second from left) and Hilary Xavier Joseph. “He has slipped into a coma and has been declared brain dead,” she said.
Syamsuriah said Norfauziana had been running back and forth between taking care of her husband in the hospital and her children at home.
“When she was warded in the same hospital as her husband to deliver her baby, her children stayed at my place in Pantai Dalam,” said Syamsuriah
Norfauziana was supposed to be discharged on Sept 17, but she did not have the money to pay for her hospital bills then.
Meanwhile, the SK Assunta 1 Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) found out about Norfauziana’s situation through her daughter.
They tried to highlight her case via some local magazines and contacted Putera MIC national coordinator P. Kamalanathan to seek his assistance.
“I visited Norfauziana on Sept 17 and found out that RM1,010 was needed to settle her bill alone.
“I called my contacts and, within 24 hours, managed to raise RM1,100 to get Norfauziana discharged on Sept 19.”
Even though training centre Allied View Centre Sdn Bhd contributed some money for her daily expenses, Kamalanathan hoped the public could still assist Norfauziana.
“Her home in Bandar Kinrara was put up for auction sometime this year as she couldn’t settle the monthly instalments with the bank,” he said.
“She tried applying for a low-cost flat with the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, but her application was rejected on grounds that she owned a house within a 35km radius of the KL city centre (even though it was already put up for auction),” Kamalanathan said.
Those who would like to help can call Norfauziana at 017-364 6275.


An immediate response from Nik Aziz was to describe the party election chairperson as "Umno's mouthpiece" and "whose voice echoes that of the Umno president".
Mustafa's initial analysis as reported by Harakah and Utusan on why the Sept 16 takeover was unlikely was based on two arguments. One, Parliament was not in session, therefore no vote of no-confidence could be conducted.Two, never before has any BN legislator ever crossed over.
There are those that argue that these are not the words of the spiritual leader but of the 'Erdogan' faction - a reference to the younger moderate group led by PAS vice-president Husam Musa - which is aligned to Nik Aziz.
