We heard so many stories from people who are affected by the pandemic, retrenchment, paycut woking hours reduced probably to 3 days a week. Most of the industry are trying their best to stay afloat during these grim times. We can also see people doing odd jobs to make ends meet, and a lot them will go for food delivery service as it’s a easy start, you just need transportation and time to earn extra income or even as a full time job.
Food delivering is a job mostly dominated by man, however in a post on Twitter which garnered over 6K retweets and 13.7K likes shows that there is this strong-will lady who does the Foodpanda delivering only using her bicycle around Ipoh!
The post wrote, ” Don’t know why today it feels so excited and so proud to this woman. She’s doing Foodpanda delivery using her bike. And yes, they exist. Keep up the good spirit!”. The post wrote that this heart warming event happens in Ipoh Parade, Ipoh. She is truly a wonder woman!
This strong lady started doing Foodpanda delivery by bicycle since two weeks ago since she dismissed her job last July and now she’s taking order within 1KM radius of her place. She admitted that at first she did feels embarrassed but she resisted the feeling and only think positively that she able to do this job. In fact, due to cycling she did, she already managed to loses 4kg! Well done sis!
This former student of Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara (IKBN) Melaka in pastry course had done two jobs at the same time previously. She was once working at a fast food restaurant and doing a part time at a hotel! She is truly a hardworking lady!
She is also very lucky as her parents are very supportive. In fact, her father even bought her a new RM500 bicycle as a sign of encouragement for her to do the job. She considered the job as a chance for her to do daily exercise as she would leave her house at 11am and return at 3pm.
However, the downside of this job is her safety. She told that there’s one incident where her mobile phone was almost being snatched while she was checking the location on it. She did not lose her phone but it was cracked when it fall on the ground. What a heartless snatcher! Shame on you!
