I am 36 years old. I used to work in maintenance, but I was fired. I have a family, and they know that I am here. I have been living in the streets for quite a while already.
I am currently in pain, but I don’t know what’s causing this. I am really hungry – thank you for the food. I like maggie goreng.
“I struggled to get a job because I injured my leg after falling from the first floor. I do not have my identification card, as it was taken away from me.”
“The election? What does it matter to us? I don’t even know who I will vote for – I don’t think I can even go and vote.”
I need to rest now. If you want to find more homeless people, you can go to Bulatan Pahang.
