Her 26-year-old son, Sonny Mosirun had an accident in 2010 when he fell from the second floor of a building after work. He suffered a fractured skull and subsequently had a stroke, causing him to be paralysed waist down."Since the mother and son are incapacitated, they depend on the kindness of the public and volunteers to assist them to make ends meet. In fact, it is a local church that allows them to stay in the humble house they are occupying now," Liew said.

According to her, the sick woman has to walk quite a distance to the main road to take a bus to the hospital for regular treatment. "During rainy days, the village road is muddy so it is hard for her to get to the highway from her house," she said.
