How did he become involved:
As he was previously a firefighter, his job had led him to witness people suffering due to their age, which leads him to have the passion of helping the elders to get protection just as child protection. Throughout his continuous contributions to charities, it has brought him numerous ideas on influencing the public through different media. (Campaign to tackle an age-old problem, n.d.)

Did I ask for this
Did I wish for this
Did a healing hand
Did a helping hand
Bring me down to this
How can I stop this pain
How can I ease this pain
How can a healing hand
How can a helping hand
Put me through this again
The silent suffering of caring with a fist
But who is there to say it shouldn't be like this
Why should I act my age
Why should I be afraid
Why should the cheating man
Why should the rage and scams
Keep me in this cage
I listen to the lies
Believe the alibis
Take all the scheming ways
I give myself the blame
But I see through their disguise
The silent suffering of caring with a fist
Wish there was someone there, it shouldn't be like this
(Chorus)
No secrets - let the light shine in
No secrets - let your heart beat again
Let the people know just who you are
You think you cannot lose
But have you thought it through
Oh yeah, you have your fun
But in the years to come
You know it could be you
As long as you're OK
You don't care how I pay
Body, cash or mind
To someone of your kind
It's gonna make your day
The silent suffering of caring with a fist
Now someone's there to say it shouldn't be like this
Chorus
Solo over chorus shape
Why should I act my age
Why should I be afraid
Why should the cheating man
Why should the rage and scams
Keep me in this cage
No more suffering or caring with a fist
There's people here to say it mustn't be like this
Chorus
Chorus
No secrets - shout out to the world
No secrets - stop this living hell
Let then know you can't be pushed this far
NO SECRETS!
