The Hospital Porter
Kua Ee Heok
At seventy-one, Seng Lim steps into a new role as a hospital porter after decades as a teacher.
In Ward 12, he finds himself in the thick of human struggle – from patients battling stigma and despair, to doctors and nurses navigating pressure, loss, and impossible choices. What begins as routine work soon reveals unexpected moments of trust, courage, and connection.
Through crises in the emergency room, late-night ward rounds, and the fragile triumphs of group therapy, Seng learns that healing is never only medical – it is about compassion, dignity, and the quiet strength to stand beside one another.
Moving and humane, The Hospital Porter is a powerful story of resilience, ageing, and the hope that can flourish even in the most unlikely places.
