SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): More than 20 years after she left her abusive partner, Lim Soi Moy let him move in with her in 2004 because he did not want to live alone.

In 2019, Pak Kian Huat, then 82 and the father of her four children, became aggrieved when Lim, 79, refused to let him move to a bigger room in her four-room Toa Payoh flat.
