Despite undergoing treatment, the cancer rapidly spread throughout his body.
He also revealed the deep affection he felt for the city and its people: “I have been loved by this city and these people; the same way, I love this city and these people.”Mr Fazley’s story of resilience and kindness inspired an outpouring of solidarity from the Singapore public, who raised funds to support his medical treatment in India.
