Earning only around RM15–RM20 a day, this uncle now survives on whatever small income he can make each day. Before this, he used to work as a hotel cook, preparing meals professionally and earning a stable living. But everything changed when he was retrenched during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since then, life has never returned to what it was. Without a steady job, he has been doing whatever he can to get by, often relying on small daily earnings just to cover basic needs like food. Some days are slightly better, but most days are a constant struggle to make ends meet.

From a stable kitchen job to life on the streets, his journey is a quiet reminder of how quickly life can change, and how fragile stability can be.
