GEORGE TOWN: While most men would dread losing their hair as they get older, Lee Thuan Chye celebrated his 60th birthday by shaving completely bald to raise funds for needy pupils.
The social worker, who started the campaign in July, managed to raise RM22,913 when he got his head shaved at SJK Li Tek B in Lintang Macallum on Friday.“The money collected will be channelled to the Li Tek Ex-Students Education Fund to help needy pupils from SJK Li Tek A, SJK Li Tek B and SJK Li Tek Cawangan.
During the tea party, Lee treated the residents to snacks such as longevity buns, pumpkin buns and sweet potato soup before cutting the birthday cake. Two of the elderly folk, who are also “September babies”, celebrated their birthdays along with Lee with an extra cake that he brought. Lin Hooi Beng, 73, and Chin Beng Kee, 90, whose birthdays are on Sept 28 and Sept 26, were all smiles when everyone sang Happy Birthday.“It was a nice surprise for both of us as we usually celebrate our birthdays with simple meals here if our families do not visit us,” said Chin.
The oldest resident in the home, Chin said she moved in there three years ago, adding that this was one of her most memorable birthdays.“Lee has been here a few times, and we always appreciate his efforts in bringing joy to the residents,” he said.After the ceremony, Lee also gave away red packets to the residents.
