Fourteen of us (consists of 4 BMSM Welfare committee, Sis. Lim Mee Sew, Mrs. Tang, Bro. Koy and Bro. Lim) in three cars paid a visit to Rumah Sejahtera Jenjarom (at Jln Norton, Jenjarom) on 2 January 2011. This old folk home is currently supported by Sis. Lim and Mrs. Tang's group who sponsor one lunch to the inmates every month. The lunch is catered by Restoran New Shiang Sze Lou (新湘子楼酒家）in Jenjarom. Sis. Lim told me that they were recommended by a temple in Jenjarom to support this home.
BMSM committee has approved to sponsor one lunch on 2/1/2011 in its meeting on 26/12/2010. However, the home caretaker told us the lunch had already been sponsored by someone, hence we sponsored the dinner instead.
The home is located at Jln Norton, Jenjarom. It takes care of 19 senior citizens, all male. Bro. Koy pointed out an interesting phenomenon in all the old folk homes we have visited (Ipoh, Raub, Klang, Kuala Lumpur, Kajang etc) which consist of predominantly male inmates.
Sis. Looi had a friendly chat with the caretaker of the home (the Indian man). He arranges meals to be prepared for the inmates and collect the food from the restaurant.
