KUALA LUMPUR — Healthcare Charity Centre in Kuala Lumpur is appealing to people to donate used glasses to help people in the rural areas of East Malaysia. Although not directly sent to the two states, the donated spectacles will be exchanged for funds that will in turn provide long-term eye care for patients in the rural areas across East Malaysia.

Dear Sir,

Taman Muhibbah, near my house, is part of my past. It was a recreation ground for people of all ages. Young children played on the swings, older children played badminton and the elderly used it for their walks. Unfortunately, now it has become an eyesore. The swings are broken, the benches are also in a bad state and the gardens have been neglected. I appeal to the Council to do something to restore it to its former state.

Chong Lee

• Taman Muhibbah was a recreation ground for children only.

• Chong Lee has unpleasant memories of Taman Muhibbah.

• Chong Lee has written to the Council to express his concern.
