Habiba is more than 100 years. She has been living alone in Sidakan for a quarter century.


 She says most of her relatives have died and she has one living daughter, but she has lost all contact with her.


She lives on food handouts from neighbors. Her monthly welfare checks haven’t come in for two years, she says.
