Mabel Ng Chin Mei Miss Malaysia/World 2002/2003

Miss Malaysia/World 2002/2003 Miss Mabel Ng Chin Mei visited patients of Penang Adventist Hospital (PAH) on February 28, 2003 to celebrate "Share a Smile Day", a day that is recognized to encourage camaraderie amongst people.

Ng distributed stuffed toys specially hand-made by volunteers of the hospital to the paediatric patients and a little smiley sunshine, in conjunction with this special day. Generously, Ng showed much of her pearly teeth as she shared her smile with the patients, bringing them a little cheer and a lot of love.

"It's always painful to see someone else suffer, I know what it's like to see a family member suffer from heart disease", said the newly-crowned, Penang-born Miss Malaysia/World 2002/2003, whose father passed away from a heart attack is dedicated in creating awareness of this painful disease.

Ng who was also born in Penang Adventist Hospital commented on how she has come back "full circle" to help do something for the hospital that she was born in.
