“Man for example. Hardworking in his work. Received the same amount of pay as others. But why he only eat rice + plain water as soup + onion + garlic?
Because he loves his family back home. He said, his expense for one month does not exceed RM100, he send the balance of his salary to his family at his hometown. If I have extra money, sometime I will treat him some food, hope everything will be eased”.
How can he only eat that? His family is so lucky to have him as their family member!
Looking at the uniform he’s wearing, he might be a security guard. And according to the comments, he is not a local, he is a foreign worker working in Malaysia.
