An elderly resident in Toa Payoh had been unable to access her own toilet for 15 years due to severe hoarding that filled her flat with clutter. The situation was highlighted by Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC MP Cai Yinzhou, who shared that the resident had to crawl over piles of rubbish to reach the toilet.
Following intervention, the clutter has been cleared, allowing the resident to finally sleep in her own room and use the toilet without obstruction. The case underscores the challenges of hoarding among the elderly and the role of community support in addressing such issues.
MP Cai Yinzhou has been involved in helping residents with hoarding problems in his constituency. The clearing of the flat marks a significant improvement in the resident's living conditions and quality of life.
