The picture above is of a girl name Tan Hui linn who is seventeen this year. She lives in Penang and she's just lost her dad and her mom. This is what happened, her father had attacked her and her mother with acid while they were asleep. Her father who is a local government official, was charged with the murder of his wife and for causing grievous hurt to his daughter by splashing acid on her. She was almost blinded in the attack. After more than three months of rehabilitation, Hui Linn can now see nearby objects with her left eye. She still cannot see with her right eye.
Hui Linn went to bed in the same room as her mum and woke up in the middle of the night when she felt her whole body burning.
Hui Linn said calmly: "Dad threw acid twice that day. I couldn't see after the first time I was splashed. I didn't know it was dad who did it then.
"If I have the chance to meet my dad, I would ask him why he was so mean to me when he loved me most," she added.
To me, I find that Hui Linn is a very strong girl. According to the video posted on rasor tv, Hui Linn wants to be a psychiatrist, she wants to be able to counsel others who need help. She believes that she can use her experience to help others. Hui Linn is an inspiration to all. Even after all that she has been through she still managed to pull through and get her life back on track, she has gone back to school and she inspires to help others in the future. She no longer hates her dad as she sees no point in holding a grudge so she got over it.
