Questions 25 28 Read the newspaper report below carefully and answer the questions that follow. KUALA LUMPUR : Sharmine Chan Sze Hui was just a month old when she underwent surgery to correct a hole in the heart. Now, two complications are making her turn blue and she is again in dire need of surgery. Over the past two years, parents Chan Chin Hsiung and Chow Yoke Fong, both 34, have spent RM40 000 on Sharmines medical bills and still owe Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia RM20 000 for the first surgical procedure. The new surgery, scheduled for next month at Gleneagles Medical Centre in Ampang will cost them a further RM38 000. They have to withdraw RM10 000 from Chin Hsiungs Employees Provident Fund account, but this evidently is not enough. Chin Hsiung earns RM2 300 a month doing printing work while Chow works part-time helping her sister who runs an embroidery business. The couple take care of Sharmine and her twin sister, along with Chows mother, at a rented apartment in Segambut. Chow said the doctor had urged that the surgery be done as scheduled because Sharmine was very blue and her condition could lead to complications in brain activity. She is losing weight and is always sick, she said.
