Law King Yew says life during the lockdown was especially difficult for those needing personal care assistance.

“The disabled community was left out and not supported,” former Paralympic weightlifter Law King Kiew told FMT. Speaking of her friends with neck injuries and living on their own, she said they were left to fend for themselves for months. “Life was hell to them. No volunteer would go to bathe or clean them.”

She said she was left feeling “very hopeless and depressed” and worrying that other disabled people might be too weak to survive.
