The body of an 81-year-old man was found in a flat at Block 25 Hougang Avenue 3 on Dec. 14 at around 11:20am.


The man's son, who has special needs and depended on his father, was suspected to have lived with the body for at least five days, according to Shin Min Daily News.
The man's neighbours revealed that the son had come to their house to ask for help, but before he could say anything, he ran away.
Speaking to Shin Min, a neighbour named Ai Su (transliterated from Chinese), 25, revealed that the elderly man lived with his son, who is believed to be in his 30s or 40s.
As the son has a low IQ, he was largely dependent on his father.
The neighbour recalled last seeing the older man in early December.

Son knocked on door asking for help​


On Dec. 13, the man's son knocked on her door, but left without saying anything.
"At that time, he walked towards our unit and seemed to want to talk to us. I thought it was strange at the time as he had never talked to us for the past 10 years. My mother answered the door, but he turned around and walked away," she said.
She added that it later dawned on her that it might have been a plea for help.
Another neighbour, Zheng Qingliang (transliterated from Chinese), 71, said he would chat with the elderly father every Sunday at the void deck of the HDB block.
"However, I didn't see him last Sunday. The last time I saw him was two weeks ago," Zheng told Shin Min.
"He was still working part-time before the pandemic, but he stopped working after. He appeared to have problems with his eye," Zheng added.

Deeply worried about son​


Zheng shared that the late neighbour was deeply worried about his son, especially when he is no longer around to take care of him.

"He once said that if he left, his son would be miserable," Zheng said.
She also shared that she had not seen the older man's wife for decades.
"I don't know if his wife had died, but he would always be the one caring for his son. There were no other relatives," Zheng said.
She said the son would go to a special needs school in Ang Mo Kio on weekends, and would go downstairs by himself to wait for a school bus that picks him up.
She mentioned that he would go home by himself.
A woman surnamed Zhang, 35, lived next to the man's unit.
She revealed to Shin Min that the man and his son both had diabetes, and that she had not seen the man for four or five days.

She said she had noticed a bad smell since the night before.
Responding to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed that they received a call for assistance on Dec. 14 at around 11:20am.
A person was pronounced dead at the scene by a SCDF paramedic.
Investigations are ongoing.

A responsible parent will always return to care for the children even after death, like this dead mother cooking food for her two dotters.....

Another tragic story on our shores....

But nevertheless, life must go on, including the son. He is one of us too...

May the MP in charge of Toa Payoh pay special attention to such cases & find the best solutions to help that fellow Human. There are options available, eg:-

That flat seems like a 3 room flat with 2 bedrooms. One of the room can be rented out to earn income for the upkeep of the son whom have low mentality issues. A govt assigned Social Worker can be sent to help him in such transition, along with many more other charity organizations whom can contribute in many other ways.

It will need patience & time, & Social Workers within govt agencies & charity orgs are a special breed & aPRECIOUS resource to a Nation, deserving ALWAYS of our respect & honor to & of them, as often most of them do not seek for recognition or monetary returns unlike sadly some current generation of doctors, but a sense of pride & privilege to serve Humanity....

Regardless of low or high mentality, that is a fellow Human, & WE, Singaporeans, leave no one behind, just as our hardworking & visionary Founding & forefathers had done to resolve & build up better socio - economic issues for our todays...

Over years since our founding, researchers as well as our elected legislators had tried many means, to assist those with special needs in education & work life. They are NOT a burden & PROVEN to be able to earn an honest living like everyone else. There WILL always be hope for the son, & only needs a responsible & dedicated social worker to guide him along. We are Singaporeans...
