He said Anding was brought in by an APM ambulance after he was discovered near Oldslip Way unable to walk due to an untreated wound.
No relatives have visited or come forward with information about him, while the patient himself has been unable to provide details about his background due to his frail condition.
The hospital urged anyone who knows Anding to contact its Medical Social Work Department at 089-248500 (extensions 5309/5303) or medical social welfare officer Mohamad Johari Omar at 089-248518.
