It's kind of long, so please bear with me...
I'd like to call upon you to please help an elderly uncle selling these Big Sweep lottery tickets make an honest living.
I've often seen him walking around Cheras, or taking the bus, (I met him in Midah, Tmn Segar & Yulek) selling these lottery tickets for many years, and he's now very old and frail, walking in small steps, and probably suffering from osteoporosis (I think) as his neck is bended (and couldn't straighten up). He's rather tanned, skinny and wears glasses.
Please buy a couple of tickets from him, help him make an honest living; or if u have some money to spare, why not tell him to keep the change? One can't really earn much from selling these tickets, right?
Even if u don't gamble, maybe u can offer to buy him a meal ( I tried to offer on two different occasions, but twice he declined), or a drink in this crazily hot weather...
Why do I help him but not the father with a mentally-challenged boy I met last Saturday, u might ask...
Well, he's someone who tries to earn an honest living despite his age and limitations, instead of asking for alms. That's something I applaud.
Secondly, I've seen him making a living selling lottery tickets for over two decades, he's genuine, not like some people going around, leeching off people's generosity.
I can't bear to see an elderly uncle/aunty with his age and frail condition walking around, at the mercy of the weather and crazy traffic, and that's the least I could do, though it may not be much...
I can't imagine my mom or relatives having to go around like this, in their twilight years... :'(
