Meet Mdm Yee
Mdm Yee, 80, moved to Cassia Crescent in 2017 after having lived in Dakota for more than 30 years. Her hobbies include exercising and cooking, although she says she rarely does the latter now, because she finds it hard to walk to the market from her new flat. One of the things she misses most about living at Dakota is Ah Leong, or Roger Neo, who was the Centre Manager for Tung Ling Community Services. A divorcee, Mdm Yee raised eight children single-handedly, juggling more than one job and now has more than 30 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
