45-year-old Tan Chee Meng was diagnosed with diabetes about 10 years. His condition has recently worsened, leading to kidney failure and the need for regular dialysis.

CCEP hopes to raise RM30,000 to help cover Tan’s dialysis transportation and basic living expenses for one year.

He started dialysis in early August and requires treatment three times a week. However, due to financial difficulties, he once went almost 10 days without dialysis. His condition deteriorated, causing swelling, weakness, breathlessness, and severe fatigue.

Tan previously worked in kitchen cabinet sales but had to stop due to his health. He has been unemployed since 1 January 2026. His savings have now almost run out, with only about RM200 left, while he still needs to pay for dialysis, accommodation, and basic living expenses.

He also recently lost his accommodation and had nowhere to stay. For six days, he had to sleep in his car before temporarily staying at a budget hotel.

Tan is an only child. His 71-year-old father lives alone in Kuala Lipis, Pahang, and is unable to support his medical and living expenses.

CCEP Foundation CEO Yvonne Yee said CCEP has temporarily stepped in to help with his dialysis and accommodation.

CCEP is currently sponsoring one month of dialysis treatment so that Tan can resume regular treatment while waiting for his SOCSO assistance application to be approved.
