A wheelchair-bound man who could no longer walk has made a heartfelt plea to fulfil what he believes may be his final wish of taking his wife and children to a theme park.
The story came to light after Malaysian philanthropist Kuan Chee Heng, better known as Uncle Kentang, shared on Facebook that the man is living with end-stage cancer.

Dad with end-stage cancer wishes for one final trip to Bangi theme park
According to the post, the man shared that he does not have much time left and hopes to take his three children, aged 3, 5, and 8, to a theme park in Bangi.
He also said he wants to take photos with his wife and children to create lasting memories while he still can.
“My children are 3, 5, and 8 years old. I don’t know how many days I have left. I could pass away at any time.
I want to take my children to the Bangi theme park. I am currently in the hospital, but I want to take photos with them and create lasting memories,” the post read.

“It would be my honour to fulfil his final wish”
Uncle Kentang has since promised to help make the man’s wish come true after he reached out for help, saying it would be his honour to fulfil his final wish.
“The doctors have contacted Uncle Kentang. An ambulance will bring me and my children to the theme park. Thank you to the oncologists. Thank you, Uncle Kentang,” the man said.
Uncle Kentang has also appealed for a photographer or videographer to join the family during the outing tomorrow (11 July) to capture the special moments.
He added that, due to the man’s fragile condition, oxygen support will be on standby throughout the trip, and a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order has already been issued.
“If you’re a videographer or photographer who can help, please call me. If you’d like to buy gifts for him to give to his children, please call me at 018-268 3999.”
“It would be an honour for us to help this dying father fulfil his final wish. He only has days left to live. We want to give him and his family something to smile about before God calls him home. Please help us make this a memorable trip,” Uncle Kentang said.
