A former television show host has donated part of her liver to a 13-year-old girl after she learnt about the girl's plight on the Internet, Sin Chew Daily reported.

Chew Hoong Ling, 29, whose hearing is impaired in the left ear, donated 60% of her liver to the girl from Kuala Lumpur at a private hospital in Singapore on Jan 14.

The former Selamat Pagi Malaysia host said that initially her mother and friends objected to her intention to donate her organ.

"But a friend told me that once I have made up my mind (to donate), I should not consider too many other things," she said.
