Rasima Yunos, 61, and her younger son moved into their new home in Sengkang on Tuesday (April 2). For the past 15 years, Rasima Yunos has been spending the Hari Raya festive seasons at a welfare home after she was forced to sell her house. She and her younger son moved into their new home — a two-room HDB flat in Sengkang purchased by her elder son — on Tuesday (April 2). The family lost their home in 2009 after Rasima's husband, the sole breadwinner, died.
