No one would be able to tell the right age of Mrs. Bala. But every time she goes up and down the stairs in her house, she feels all of her 86yrs old age, says Mrs Bala. She has slowly given up or scaled back on some of the social work she has been doing over time like her involvement in the Singapore girl guide association, fostering committee in the department of social welfare, comcare committee and inter-racial and religious confidence circles among others. But she is well aware of keeping her mind active and wants to continue with the Meet the People Session as long as she can.

Currently, she stays on her own and looks forward to the calls from her children who have settled overseas and the occasional visit from her friends, neighbours and relatives. The tenacious Mrs Bala still imbues the fighting spirit, which has gotten her through even the most difficult moments in her life.
