Sorry, guys this going to be a long story and broken English but hope everyone after reading it can help me share and hope this uncle will get help from the social welfare and concern authorities ASAP .
Today business is bad no call at all so i decided to buy food back for my 3 lovely kids to eat. Around 8 pm plus I went to circuit rd market trying to buy satay and western food for my kids and normally i will park opposite the market but today don’t know why i park infront of the market.
After alighting from my car i saw this uncle limping slowly and holding on to others ppl car as support and having problems breathing like he was going out of breath. I went towards him and offer my help, so he took my hand and I slowly walk him over to a seat for him to rest. I asked him why is he out so late and especially his condition of walking already having problem.
He told me he is hungry and wanted to buy food to eat. I ask him to sit down and i will buy him food, at the start he reject my offer but after my persuading power he accept my offer. Ask him what he want to eat he just say anything that can be eaten, so i went buy prawn noodle for him. I thought he was staying around Circuit rd area and i ask him where he stay cause i wanted to sent him back as well but to my suprise he is staying at blk 659 , #13 floor , Jalan Tenaga (Kaki Bukit).😂😂😂😂 How did he end up in Circuit rd i also don’t know. Anyway i held on to him and walked him slowly to my car and sent him back.
Along the way i talked to him and he told me he is 70 yrs old with kidney problems (you can see in one of the photos his right chest area with a dialysis tube on it).
While walking and holding him and walking I can hear him getting breathless and i really feel sad. When i reached his house to my surprise no one was at home and he don’t have house key and phone with him at all. Uncle told me sometime his wife is at home sleeping inside the air-conditioned room and can’t hear anyone knocking at the door or she will be outside somewhere and his son is not staying with him. He have to sit outside and wait till his wife wake up or come home normally around 1 to 2 am to open the door for him to go in.
There was a neighbour passing by i asked the neighbour and they told me this uncle had been sitting outside the house from day time till night before the wife comes back or in the a good mood to open the door to let him in. Sometimes the uncle have to beg the wife to let him in or give him some food to eat.
When the weather is cold or raining the uncle will be sitting outside shivering. Recently, the uncle has problems controlling his bowel and there was this time he defecated all over outside his house and the neighbour have to come out help clean the uncle and the area up. Sometime the uncle will sit at bus stop or at the void deck. The neighbor did approach the Residents commitee and they just said they were unable to do anything about it.
The neighbours tried to help but also at a loss where to start from. So I decided to call the police and post it on social media in hopes that some authorities will help the uncle ASAP.
Amid this Circuit Breaker situation, it is endangering to the uncle’s health for him to stay out on his own for long hours. In addition to his current health condition, this will pose as a higher danger for him.
I hope to get this story out so the public response can let the appropriate authorities step in fast and lend a helping hand to this uncle.
