I Register To Be An Organ Donor In Malaysia

I like helping people. I’ve always wanted to be an organ donor but prior to this, the process has been a little too much bother. Yes, that’s a terrible excuse to not sign up and potentially save the lives of 8 people once you’re dead. But I truly am that lazy.

Now it’s super super simple. You can do it entirely online and don’t have to speak to a human or post anything or leave your house. Also, in case you don’t know this, you can select which organs to donate. A good friend of mine pledged all her organs except for her eyes (for personal reasons).

Please note, registration is free and you do not need to undertake a medical screening.

Three ways to register as an organ donor in Malaysia

1. The easiest way, do it online

• Just go here
• Fill out your details
• Wait
• You’ll receive a letter and your organ donor card in the mail
• Fill out your details on the card
• Keep it with you at all times
• Notify family members of your status as an organ donor

So this is what I did. And I just received my card a few days ago:

Easy-peasy lemon squeezey.

2. The less easy way, mail your registration

• Fill out this form
• Print it out
• Mail it to this address:

Pusat Sumber Transplan Nasional,
(National Transplant Resource Center),
Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Pahang,
50586 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

3. The old fashioned way, go there in person

• Head to any of these locations
• Fill out the form at the National Transplant Registry

And that’s all there is to it. So register. Please. Your organs could give life to others once you’re gone.
