An 86-year-old woman in Pulau Tikus was forcibly removed from her home due to excessive hoarding. Family members sought help, worried about her health and mobility issues. Civil defense personnel carried her out on a stretcher after clearing a path through piles of rubbish that filled her home and yard. Now temporarily placed in a shelter, discussions are underway for her to move to a nursing home. Advocates stress the need for community support for isolated seniors facing similar challenges. Hoarding disorder is spreading in Malaysia, with increasing cases in big cities as people form emotional attachments to unnecessary items.
