Lim Chin Leng, EAST Alumnus from Class of 2008, with daughter Jayna.

EAST Alumnus Chin Leng has recently been diagnosed with Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer and this has been a shocking news to his family and our community at EAST. However, Chin Leng has remained positive and is taking the Straits Times Virtual Run Challenge of 17.5KM, setting a goal to complete it within these two weeks as a #chemowarrior.

His daughter Jayna has written a heartfelt poem regards to her dad’s condition titled, “I Hate Cancer.” Below is the poem she has penned.

Please pray for their family – Lisa, Chin Leng’s wife and main cheerleader during this season, and their young ten year old daughter Jayna, as we pray for God’s healing and mercies upon Chin Leng.

I HATE CANCER

Verse 1

It can be anywhere, including the brain

It turns all your sunny days into rain

Especially when your loved ones are in pain

Or when their energy goes down the drain

Like when they don’t eat their food

Which is their favorite, and they normally would

But we will get through this tough time together

Because we are a family, forever

Verse 2

I don’t really know why you do this, Lord
