Tan Hui Linn, a survivor of an acid attack in Penang some years ago. In Tan, we are introduced to a 23-year-old lady who has risen from a heartrending experience to become a gutsy, more confident and happier person; a suitable role model for youths from all races.
In October 2009, Tan Hui Linn's face was badly injured and she was blinded in her right eye after an acid attack on her and her mother at their home. Tan’s father, a Penang Municipal Council licensing officer, was later charged in two different courts with the murder of his wife and causing grievous hurt to his daughter.
After sitting for her SPM exam, Tan received several scholarship offers and she opted to enrol in an accountancy course at Sunway College. Earlier this year, she completed her sixth and final corrective surgery in Seoul.
Despite her limited vision, Tan was among those who graduated from the Sunway TES Centre for Accountancy Excellence in April; a moment the gritty lass fervently wished she could share with her mother. Currently, according to The Star on July 21, Tan Hui Linn is enjoying her work as an auditor upon joining an accounting firm in Penang last May.
