Our Grand Opening Ceremony
October 6th · Mid-Autumn Festival
A father told me he had spent years searching for a centre that would accept his autistic child, only to face rejection after rejection. When he found our centre, he said, "At last, someone opened the door." That is what we aim to do — to open doors. As we open the doors of Children Respite Home, we are not just inaugurating a building — we are making a promise. A promise that here, every child will be accepted and loved.

Opening Ceremony Highlights
Every caregiver deserves a good rest —
even angels need a moment to pause.
Our Story
Two years ago, an encounter with a three-year-old refugee child battling cancer changed everything. In that moment of profound connection, a promise was made before the Bodhisattva: to create a sanctuary where no child would face their struggles alone.
Two years ago, a three-year-old refugee child with cancer showed us the silent struggles families face in illness and caregiving.
"The tree remains steadfast, unchanging still, So too the original heart endures the same."
At the entrance stood a modest temple. Kneeling before the Bodhisattva, I prayed: “What can I do for this child?” Two years later, my prayer was answered. I founded the Children Respite Home (KL) Sdn. Bhd. in Kuala Lumpur.
Children Respite Home (KL) was founded with a simple but profound intention: to ensure that every child receives equal care and every family caring for a child with special needs can find moments of rest.

Lim Velory
After bringing my child for a trial visit, I felt everything was very good — the facilities are excellent, hygiene is well maintained, and the environment is nice, quiet with a lake. The staff are also very good. There is an experienced physiotherapist around, and thankfully, she has provided guidance and shared how to properly care for patients who are bedridden for long periods. The advice was very helpful. Everything is great. The founder is very kind-hearted, choosing to open a children's respite home as a way to give back to society.

Our first encounter with this daycare was during the school term holidays. Like many parents, I was worried about how to manage such a long break for my younger son. A friend introduced us to this place, and I decided to try leaving him here. To my surprise, when he came home, he was calm and at peace. Usually, he is very sensitive to changes in environment and becomes unsettled easily. But after spending time here, he seemed as though his heart had been healed. I believe it was thanks to the massage, treatments, and the warm care of the staff. As a mother, that sense of relief was priceless, and it gave me so much peace of mind.❣️

Director's Story
"Pain has a thousand interpretations. Having cared for many children with disabilities, whether physical or chronic illnesses, it remains a significant challenge for both the children and their families. If we were to use punctuation marks as metaphors, genes would be periods, medicine would be commas, chromosomal issues would be ellipses, caregiving would be equal signs, and all beings are equal."
Children Respite Home KL Founder
/ Tony Chew Sing Lee
After studying and working in Singapore for many years, I returned to Malaysia two years ago and subsequently joined the Malaysian Association of Paediatric Palliative Care (MAPPAC), a non-governmental organisation, that provides palliative care to children below 18.
My very first home visit with MAPPAC was to a low-cost housing area. To earn a living, the child's mother was busy frying chicken in the kitchen so the father could deliver it hot to the market.
The child we were caring for had cerebral palsy. He laid on the floor, unable to open his hands or speak. Yet his bright eyes and charming smile revealed a lively and adorable spirit. He might not be perfect, but in his parents' eyes, he was absolutely their precious treasure. Every now and then, the mother would step out from the kitchen to check on how we were treating her child. All of us in the team were deeply fond of him.
That visit might have been a once-in-a-lifetime encounter—ichigo ichie (一期一会), as the Japanese say. It was somewhat bittersweet, but it opened my eyes to the helplessness and exhaustion that come with illness, fate, and caregiving.
Motivated by a deep desire to do something for patients and their families, I formed a team.
