“As a family of three, we were always moving around from one place to another back in Johor three years ago because we did not have enough money to pay rent. I am relieved now that I can stay at this old folks home and make new friends with the other residents here.

I just want my son to know that both of us are doing fine, and I wish he can come back to see the both of us and have a reunion dinner again this Chinese New Year.” – Ah Swee

The above interview was conducted in Cantonese.
