Since his wife had a stroke five years ago, Mr Tan Sue Hoai has been taking care of her daily - bathing her, preparing her meals, helping her to use the bathroom and carrying her to bed.
"This is me fulfilling my promise to her at our wedding - that when one of us has problems, the other takes care of him or her," said the 73-year-old retiree, who has been married to Madam Oei Lian Eng for 30 years.
