Molly Teo Siok Khim, 81, and Richard Wong Yuan Chang, 66, met at Rumah Seri Kenangan (RSK) Kuching and fell in love. They tied the knot in a simple ceremony at the Sarawak National Registration Department (NRD) office, witnessed by Sarawak Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Minister Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah and Sarawak NRD director Mahathir Bujang. Teo, who resides at the elderly care centre since 2005, says they shared faith and Wong's kindness contributed to their compatibility. Wong, who moved to RSK Kuching in 2023, was drawn to Teo's extroverted personality.

“Richard was the one who made the first move to get to know me,” Teo said, smiling as she glanced at Wong, who appeared bashful. On her special day, Teo wore a simple red cheongsam and opted for light makeup. Having resided at the elderly care centre since 2005, she said their shared faith played a significant role in their compatibility.
Wong, who has been living at RSK Kuching since 2023, admitted that Teo’s extroverted character caught his attention, as he is more reserved. She said the authorities encouraged RSK Kuching and Sibu residents who find love at the centres to marry according to their religious beliefs.
