In an interview with one of the residents for our Love @ MyQueenstown programme, a forty-five year old married woman living in Blk 165, Stirling Road revealed that her husband has been touchy since he has visited Casino. She understood that her husband will visit the Casino once every week and believed that he had lost money there. Her husband would get drunk and return home in the wee hours and hit her 11-year old son. She is worried for her son.



MyQueenstown's reply: Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of abusive behaviours by one party in the forms of physical aggression, threats, emotional or sexual abuse. Physical abuse is common in a malfunction family unit.

Family is viewed as a haven from the world, supplying absolute fulfillment to each individual by encourage love and trust among individuals to escape the competition of dehumanizing force in society.
