According to iHeart, an eight-year-old Malaysian boy went blind due to a poor diet since he was an infant. The child was said to have had a diet consisting of only chicken nuggets, sausages and cookies, the outlet reported.

“As a mother, we can’t always cook because we are busy. Pity for the parents of this student. It is not easy for them to accept,” Dr. Erna Nadia, a popular Malay doctor with a large following on social media, wrote on Facebook.

The Daily Mail reported that the boy’s instructors became aware of the problem after he asked, “Teacher, why can’t I see anything?”
