HOME ALONE: Huong rests in the living area.

MARUDI: The Home for the Aged here, which could possibly be the smallest in the country, is now left with its sole resident.

The man identified only as Huong used to live in the home with two other residents, but they have since passed away.

Built on a small plot of land near the Marudi police station, the home was set up for members of the Chinese community who have no one else to take care of them.

Set up by the Chinese association here, the home relies on the kindness of generous donors.

The association also supplies food daily.

Although sparsely furnished, it is kept very clean and is also equipped with a television.

During celebrations such as Chinese New Year, Huong said he received many donations of oranges, cash and other contributions from the community.
