SINGAPORE - For a long time, Madam Maniseh Mustapha, who has ailing health and poor vision, had to move carefully in her two-room rental flat in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 as it was dark and cluttered.
This week, however, the flat where they have lived for 12 years is uncluttered and furbished, just in time for Hari Raya Aidilfitri. During the eight-day renovation earlier in April, six volunteers and alumni from Jamiyah Halfway House, a rehabilitation centre for former drug offenders, cleared the clutter, cleaned the flat, painted the walls and did electrical installation works.
The total cost of the renovation was $3,000, sponsored by businesses that also provide full-time employment for the halfway house’s residents.
