The refurbished group homes, located at Block 240 and 239, Bukit Batok Batok East Avenue 5, were officially launched in a ceremony on Friday .

As things got better with the help of treatment and medication, Ong secured a job as a driver at a social service agency.Earlier this month, Ong also picked up the keys to his studio apartment for seniors in Tengah, where he'll move into in September.
