Leah Choy first became known to the public when she was merely four years old. In 2015, Leah clinched the Tuanku Bainun Young Changemakers Award for her efforts to raise funds for her sister, Adele’s medical treatment.

The little girl learnt to bake cupcakes from YouTube, sold them on her Facebook page (Chef Leah With A Big Heart) and raised a whopping RM24,000 for her sister, who requires half-yearly visits to the Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia, United States, for treatment. It costs RM50,000 per trip.
