It has been four months since Mr Terry Mariyadas, 35, was separated from his family, and his wife is worried sick.
Their daily video calls end in teary goodbyes and the stress of having to care for her two young sons – aged two and almost one – without her husband, has caused Madam Kanamah Rathinasamy, 33, to lose almost 30kg.
“Whenever I see her (over video chat) I will remind her to eat,” said Mr Mariyadas about his wife.
Mr Mariyadas is Malaysian. He is also the sole breadwinner of the family and has been stuck in Singapore since mid-March, when Malaysia’s movement control order was enacted.
It is still unclear whether he will be allowed to visit his family in Johor Baru under the recently announced reciprocal green lane and periodic commuting arrangement. But the senior technician is hopeful that his wait to see his family will soon be over.
“If I could just see them and hold my sons, that is all that I want. Just a few days back home is enough,” he said.
