58-Year-Old Uncle In Penang Sells Fruits From His Car To Make A Living

Let’s admit this. The past year has not been an easy one for most of us. Some businesses were forced to go on a hiatus with parties being retrenched. We’ve seen situations whereby a pilot took on a completely different route by selling burgers in KL.

Fresh Fruits From A Car To Weather The Storm

In fact, there’s a similar situation taking place closer to home, right here along Jalan Macalister.  A 58-year-old Uncle Lim is seen selling fruits from the bonnet of his car. Uncle Lim was a construction worker before being retrenched due to MCO.

Now, when the going gets tough, Uncle Lim gets tougher by selling fruits from his car. This is his way to earn a living for his 4 kids aged between 5-18 years old alongside his wife. Every day, without fail, Uncle Lim will park his car right outside of Hua Xia International School with his exhibition of fresh fruits sourced from a supplier.
