SINGAPORE — A 59-year-old man found dead at a void deck of a Housing Board block in Serangoon was often seen sleeping rough there.
Shin Min Daily News earlier reported that a cleaner smelled a stench from the man who was lying on a mattress, went to check and realised that he was dead. The cleaner informed his employer. Seah, who is a Marine Parade GRC MP, said there is a very small number of rough sleepers in his constituency. They often have their own homes but opt to sleep on the streets for various reasons, such as family disputes.
A few years ago, the group started to partner Mount Alvernia Hospital, which provides free medical and dental care to the homeless people referred to it. On Jan 8, the police were alerted and found a 69-year-old woman lying motionless in her one-room rental flat in Aljunied. She is believed to have lived alone.Social service agencies which work with seniors said cases of the elderly dying alone are uncommon. This is because they have set up a range of services and programmes to support and monitor vulnerable seniors, especially those who live alone.
"They make assessments of the psycho-social care needs of seniors and devise strategies to support their physical and mental well-being and increase their coping strategies," she added.The Lions Befrienders comes across fewer than three such cases a year for seniors under its care.
