KLANG: When Pauline Leong’s husband walked out on her and their three children, more than two decades ago, the world initially appeared to be bleak for her.
"I was heartbroken and emotionally traumatised and worried about what the future held for us," reminisced Leong, 67.
According to Leong, her marital woes started when her children were five, seven and nine years old and it culminated in her husband walking out on the family in 2002 when they were 10, 12 and 14 respectively. "I wanted to give my children the best so that they would not have to suffer poverty when they were adults as well," added Leong who remarried in 2016.
Besides the single mothers and their combined seven children at her shelter, there are another four children who were left by their parents who could not take care of them any more.
