1/12/2024 Mdm Chong: A Vision Restored through Renewed Application Approval.
Mdm Chong (77) is unmarried and lost her job many years ago when the factory where she was employed shut down. She appealed to LCGTM that she was losing her vision due to dense cataracts. The club submitted a request for medical assistance from Life Renewed on behalf of Mdm Chong.
She was filled with joy upon learning that our application to Life Renewed for her cataract treatment had been approved. Today, she successfully underwent cataract surgery at Pantai Hospital Penang, thanks to the expertise of eye specialist Dr. Tan J.P. who performed the procedure.
8/11/2024 Joint Projects with Sister Clubs
LC George Town Mutiara participated in a collaborative Legacy Project alongside Sister Lions from LC Medan Raya, LC Petaling Jaya Metro, LC Kota Budaya, and LC Singapore Fort Canning. The project is a construction of a deep well that supplies fresh water to over a thousand residents in the vicinity of the Hiap Thien Keng Temple in Medan, who otherwise lack sufficient access to water facilities.

LCGTM also made a contribution to their Anniversary projects, giving out rice, oil and noodles, aimed at supporting the underprivileged community. Another meaningful Legacy project was the installation of a deep well at Hiap Thien Temple, Belawan which provided clean water to the community.
On 27/10/2024, Lions Club of George Town Mutiara, in collaboration with Pantai Hospital Penang, successfully carried out the 2024 Charity Fun Ride & Fun Walk. The event attracted more than 750 participants. The event raised $10,000 for the medical fund. Although intermittent rain initially posed a challenge, the participants' enthusiasm persevered, allowing the ride and walk to continue uninterrupted. Eventually, the sun emerged, enhancing the overall success of the event.

Another Legacy Project - An Innovative Milestone:
The inaugural cataract surgery was successfully performed to Mr. Paul Ng (patient) on 9/10/2024, at Hospital Pantai Sungai Petani. This achievement followed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between LCGTM, Pantai Hospital Sungai Petani (PHSP), and Pantai Hospital Laguna Merbok (PHLM) on August 17, 2024. The medical costs were covered by LCGTM-PANTAI SPLM, with the procedure conducted by Dr. Wong Choy Hoong. The case was interviewed by PP Lily Teoh.
LCGTM participated in the 2024 Peace Poster Contest, held on 12/10/2024 at 1st Avenue Mall, Penang. Organised by Regions 1,2 and 3 (Penang Island), 95 students took part and 4 of them were invited by our club from SJKC Shang Wu. Ms. Joey Lim Jing Rou received the Excellence Award.
A Legacy Project - Presentation of an AED
LCGTM presented an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to the Thean Oon Senior Home. The Home, which started in 2021, provides care and services for seniors in our community. Currently, there are 90 residents with 15 staff running the Home. This is one of our legacy projects this year; a part of the Club’s commitment to supporting seniors and promoting cardiac health. The AED will make a significant difference in the lives of our elderly residents.
The Club is grateful to the Lions Club of Serdang for their generous contribution and for making this a joint project that bears half the cost.
Congratulations to the Organising Committee headed by PP May Cheah for making this project successful.
8/2/2025 - PRESENTATION OF AED DEVICE TO THEAN OON SENIOR HOME CARE CENTRE
The LCGTM Lions interviewed Puan Bedah and subsequently recommended her application to LifeRenew for financial assistance, which was granted. Puan Bedah told the LCGTM that she placed great importance on her eyesight because she lost her right eye. Now her left eye is affected by severe cataracts.
Her husband, a rubber tapper, can no longer work due to his old age. With no income, the couple resides with their son, who lives in a rented three-room flat with his own family of two.
Thank you for the support from LifeRenew and Pantai Hospital Penang.

Assisting needy families has been one of our signature projects. One of the families is Mdm Gan. She has to shoulder the responsibility of caring for her elderly mother and two school-age children on a limited income. Mdm Gan and her family share a 3-room flat with her brother.
The club hopes that more generous donors can help support Mdm Gan's family in improving their living conditions. In the meantime, LCGTM has provided additional assistance to her family through contributions of groceries from the public.
14/8/2024 @4.30pm LCGTM's monthly Hunger Relief Project
The Lions started the project by leading the residents in a lively light aerobic exercise. This created an atmosphere of fun, as the elderly participants enthusiastically tried to keep up with the steps and movements. We can see that the residents greatly enjoyed such activities, which helped foster a sense of community in the Rifle Range neighborhood.
After the 20-minute dance session, the Lions distributed 70 meal boxes to the local residents in need. However, the interaction did not end there. The Lions also took the time to have conversational sessions with the recipients, making it a more meaningful and personalized experience.
Lions-In-Attendance: PP Samantha, IPP Joyce Cheah, CP Danny Lim, Lion Cindy Chew, Lion Lucia Teoh.
