Local authority has duty of care to the elderly
IN reference to the article 'Elder abuse: spot the warning signs' by Dr Tay Hui Sian (The Star, June 18), and the proposed Senior Citizens Bill aimed at enhancing protection for Malaysia's ageing population, I would like to share my experience as a caregiver to my 80-year-old mother.
I have been my mother's sole carer since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease five years ago. My sibling does not provide any financial or moral support.
