The key to longevity is to exercise daily. This is the testimony of 102 year old Kuan Lek a resident of Simee Old Folks Home.  He made this amazing revelation at the Annual Christmas party and Buffet lunch at the home recently.

Kuan Lek despite his age was alert and attributed this to his daily exercise routine each morning which consists of 30 minutes ensuring movement of all his limbs. Regarding his diet he does not avoid any food and eats rice as usual.

“He used to be a Tai Chi practitioner and exercised daily until he broke his leg in August 2018. He still exercises on his bed daily since he is on wheelchair now”.

Another resident celebrating her birthday was Mary Chin Swee Yoon, 97, the former cook at Our Lady of Lourdes church Silibin. Among the priests she served include Archbishop Emeritus Murphy Pakiam. Mary was admitted to the Home in 2010.
