SINGAPORE — Red Dot United’s secretary-general Ravi Philemon has made a heartfelt plea to Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam to provide much-needed assistance to a vulnerable elderly woman currently facing ‘distressing living conditions’ due to hoarding.
In his email to Minister Tharman, the Red Dot United leader said, “I implore you to take this urgent matter into consideration and use your remaining time as an MP to provide assistance to this elderly woman, ensuring she can live her life with the dignity and support she deserves. Your steadfast commitment to the well-being of the residents in Jurong GRC would undoubtedly leave a lasting impact and serve as a testament to your dedication as a public servant.
“Residents at Block 155 Yung Loh Road in Taman Jurong have expressed deep concern for their neighbour, an elderly woman in her late 70s or early 80s. Unfortunately, her mental wellbeing has taken a turn for the worse since her husband was admitted to the hospital for a long-term illness. Compounding her distress, she has become a hoarder, resulting in dire living conditions,” shared Philemon.Philemon added that the elderly woman works as a cleaner at a nearby coffeeshop.
