SEREMBAN, Malaysia - Sister Julianna Lim may have irreversible brain injury after being attacked with a helmet in the compound of a church here early on Wednesday.

The 69-year-old from the Holy Infant Jesus order based in Kampung Pasir has several blood clots in the head after being repeatedly struck with the helmet at the Church of Visitation here.

Members of the Roman Catholic order "specialise" in helping the poor and homeless and is famous worldwide for reaching out to the marginalised, making sure they get opportunities to make a better life for themselves.

Church member P. Mary Josephine, 65, said doctors had conveyed this to church officials as Lim's condition had not improved since she was wheeled after the attack.

"Her pressure was extremely high when she was brought in but has since dropped. Doctors are trying their best to stabilise her but there are no signs of recovery yet," she said.

Several church members have been praying by Lim's bedside at the hospital since she was brought in for treatment.

Josephine said Lim suffered severe internal head injuries and bleeding.

"It is a painful time for the family, relatives as well as church members. We are praying that she pulls through," she said.

Sister Marie Rose alias Theresa Teng who was also attacked has regained consciousness and could talk to her visitors.

The police recorded a statement from the 79-year-old yesterday.
