Family of seven in dire need of proper home

Family in distress: Saroja and her children at their rented “storeroom” with a makeshift bathroom at Ujong Pasir.

MALACCA: Taking a midnight bath in the open have been the norm for a 44-year-old mother and her four daughters as the darkness provided cover from “peeping toms”.

K. Saroja and her four daughters, K. Agateya, 10, nine-year-old Kartiga, seven-year-old Durgasini and six-year-old Dewisini have been taking baths at a makeshift bathroom zinc fronting Jalan Ujong Pasir, near Ujong Pasir Government clinic here for the past three months.
