IT was a good beginning to 2016 for Aziz Naina Mohamed, 78, when he received a fully sponsored prosthetic leg on Jan 15 at his house on Jalan P.Ramlee.
The below-knee prosthetic leg cost RM3,950 and is fully sponsored by Datuk Keramats assemblymember, Jagdeep Singh.
“In my constituency there are currently two people who are in need of a prosthetic leg and Mr. Aziz is one of them. I fully sponsored this using my constituency funds with hope that it will help Mr. Aziz with his daily life and mobility,” said Jagdeep.
Aziz lost his left leg back in 2012 due to a serious infection he had on his toe during the floods.
He underwent two minor surgeries to amputate part of his feet before ultimately having to undergo a major surgery to amputate his left leg from knee down to stop the infection from spreading any further.
Aziz was all smiles when Jagdeep personally helped put on the brand new prosthetic leg for him and expressed his gratitude to the assemblymember.
