Raising five growing teenagers in such confined conditions has been a daily struggle, but it is all Liew and Lee can manage. Senior citizens Alex Liew, 73, and Serena Lee, 70, are in urgent need of financial assistance. For the past 13 years, they have devoted their lives to raising their five grandchildren in a small two-bedroom flat in Sentul here. Measuring just 300 sq ft, this flat is severely overcrowded. It’s barely enough for two people, let alone a family of seven.
The children’s parents left the family when the youngest was about three months old.
Lee and Liew have been raising them ever since and are not in touch with the parents.
The couple relies on monthly welfare support of approximately RM900,
an amount that falls far short of meeting the family’s needs.
