Singaporean Couple's Inspiring Love Story Defies Disability

Singaporean Couple Defies Expectations: Love, Disability, and the Rebirth of Possibility Singapore – In a society often focused on limitations, Shalom Lim and Amanda Yip are rewriting the narrative. This couple, both living with disabilities, has not only built a loving relationship but also co-founded Rebirth Ensemble, a pioneering arts consultancy studio in Singapore dedicated to accessibility. "Long-lasting relationships among people with disabilities are uncommon," says Shalom, who uses a wheelchair and relies on respiratory support. "But by telling our story, we want to show that even with severe disabilities, we can still thrive, flourish and be the people we want to be." Amanda, who is visually impaired, adds, "I can help him to be his arms and legs, and he can be my eyes. So I think we complement each other." Their partnership extends beyond personal support; together they run Rebirth Ensemble, a testament to their shared vision and determination. The couple's story is a powerful reminder that disability does not define a person's potential for love, success, or contribution to society. Their journey, captured in a recent short video, is an inspiration to many, proving that with hope, nothing is impossible.
