KUCHING, May 9: “Terima kasih orang baik (Thank you, kind people),” is the heartfelt message from the family of four-year-old Sarawakian baby Muhammad Fayyadh Hadif, whose life is about to change thanks to the kindness and generosity of Malaysians who helped raise over RM185,000 for his liver transplant in China.
After weeks of uncertainty and emotional pleas for help, Fayyadh’s father Masli Bojeng today confirmed that the campaign launched on April 21 has reached its target—opening the door for his son’s life-saving surgery in Shanghai.
“Alhamdulillah. The amount has been fully raised. We are overwhelmed with gratitude to all who donated, shared our story, and prayed for Fayyadh,” said Masli in a heartfelt message.
He added that documentation and ethical approvals from Chinese authorities have been secured. Barring unforeseen delays, the family is preparing to leave for Shanghai by the end of May.
“This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the support of so many kind-hearted people. Only Allah can repay your goodness,” he expressed.
Fayyadh, who suffers from Biliary Atresia—a rare liver disease, and is currently warded at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (PPUM), has been surviving on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) while awaiting the transplant.
His condition remains fragile, with doctors warning of potentially fatal ruptures in his blood vessels.
Masli, who will be the liver donor, and his wife Hanifah have been by their son’s side since March, juggling hospital duties and emotional exhaustion.
Despite enduring public skepticism early in the campaign, their faith in humanity was restored by the outpouring of support from across the country.
“Please continue to pray that Fayyadh stays strong and recovers well after the surgery,” Masli urged.
The family extends their deepest thanks to the public, elected representatives, and the Biliary Atresia Malaysia Association (BAMA) for their support throughout the journey. – DayakDaily
