*The Importance of Understanding the Early Symptoms of Dementia*

Today, I had the privilege of speaking to 120 seniors at All Saints Church, Kota Kinabalu, about dementia awareness. The strong response reminded me of one thing:
Early understanding can change the entire journey for a family.

*Dementia does not start with memory loss alone. It often begins with small, subtle changes:*

Misplacing items more often

Difficulty finding the right words

Mood or personality changes

Getting confused in familiar places

Losing interest in hobbies

Repeating questions

Struggling with planning or simple tasks

Recognising these early signs allows families to seek help sooner, plan better, and support their loved ones with dignity and patience.

Dementia is not a normal part of ageing but early awareness is the key to better care, better understanding, and better quality of life.

Let’s continue building a dementia‑friendly Sabah together.

认识失智症早期症状的重要性

今天，我在亚庇圣公会 All Saints 教堂为 120 位长者分享了失智症认知讲座。现场的热烈反应再次提醒我*越早了解，越能改变一个家庭的照护旅程。

失智症并不是从“记忆力变差”才开始。它往往从一些细微的变化出现：

更常把东西放错地方

说话时找不到合适的词

情绪或个性出现变化

在熟悉的地方也会迷路

对兴趣爱好失去动力

重复问同样的问题

在计划或处理简单任务时变得困难

当家人能够及早察觉这些迹象，就能更快寻求协助、做好准备，并以更有尊严、更有耐心的方式陪伴长者。

失智症不是正常老化的一部分. 但早期认知是更好照护、更好理解、更好生活品* *质的关键*。

让我们继续一起努力，让沙巴成为一个更友善、更理解失智症的社区。

25th April 2026 : Celebrating Sabah’s first cohort of 16 Healthcare Assistants — made possible through the support of the Hasanah Social Enterprise Fund 2025.

This program opened doors for young Sabahans to receive structured, professional caregiving training — equipping them with skills in eldercare, dementia support, safety, communication and community‑based care.

Because of Yayasan Hasanah’s commitment to social impact, these youths now step into a profession that brings dignity, comfort and hope to families across Sabah.

Their journey is just beginning, but their contribution will be felt for years to come.

Thank you, Yayasan Hasanah, for believing in Sabah’s caregiving future.
And congratulations to all 16 graduates — you are the new strength of our care ecosystem.
