Kid Number 008 – Soong Kok Jong

When Kok Jong was 10 years old, he was playing with his friends at school. Unfortunately, he accidentally fell and knocked on his head which lead to his coma for 2 years.

After Kok Jong regained consciousness, he is diagnosed with learning and intellectual disability. Therefore, he could no longer able to study. He was a model student in school, however, he could no longer go to study due to a tragedy. It is so heart-breaking that lost a talented boy.

Kok Jong also developed obsessive-compulsive disorder after the accident, he is not allowed anyone to touch his clothes or any other stuff. He also not allowed anyone to sweep away the rice that fell on the floor but he will pick it up and eat it. Else, he will throw a fit.

Loss of judgment due to intellectual disability

Kok Jong is from Rawang and was taken care of by his parents after the accident. As he lost his judgment due to intellectual disability, he is unable to tell the right or wrong. He will always go to the restaurant nearby and take away the aluminum can while the customers are still dining, hence, he is always scolded by the customers and boss. His unintentional actions brought him to the police stations several times.

Besides that, many traffic accidents happened on Kok Jong where he was hit by cars when he crossed the road. The most serious one caused one of his legs unable to walk properly but limp along slowly, and his right eye was also defective due to the said accident.
