SINGAPORE - A group of people at a shopping mall came together and helped a man who was struggling to manage his elderly mother who had soiled herself.

Hearing shouts ahead, she went to investigate and found the elderly woman, who had dementia, had soiled herself, and her son was having trouble with managing her as well as his own composure. Senior security officer Mariama Ratnasamy, 37, and Mr David Tan, 48, senior facilities supervisor from Lendlease, which manages the mall, were in the meantime comforting the elderly lady who could only converse in Hokkien.

Senior Staff Sergeant Imran, 37, told The Straits Times that he had experience interacting with elderly people with special needs, as his late father-in-law had suffered a stroke and in his final years had dementia, while his mother-in-law uses a wheelchair.
