Efforts to raise awareness on caring for caregivers continue as Founder | CEO of Montfort Care Mr Samuel Ng, BBM, continues with book sharing tours and interviews with the media, following the launch of his long-anticipated book, “Can I Hold You A While Longer?” on Monday 25 March.
The book was a detailing of Samuel’s challenges in caregiving for his mother with dementia, with the book launch event providing an immersive experience that spotlighted silver linings in the caregiving journey for the 100 community partners in attendance.
