'It feels like I married a different person': Husband of woman in e-scooter accident

2018: The strain of caring for Ang has taken its toll on Leong and the family. He earns about $1,000 plus and spends about $2,000 a month on his wife's medicine, therapy bills and the maid's salary. While the financial burden is heavy, it is the struggle to understand his wife - she has not recovered the ability to speak audibly - that weighs most on Mr Leong.ST PHOTO: ZAIHAN MOHAMED YUSOF.

He misses his wife's smile and her sociable personality. He remembers her cheerful confidence when she played cards with her friends.

Now, it seems as if Leong Loon Wah, 55, is living with a stranger who keeps her thoughts to herself.
