I am wary of capitalist exploitation. This has led me to question the fundamental purpose of work. Is it merely to earn a living, or is it to contribute to society?

KUALA LUMPUR""Uncle Umar” finally had the opportunity to connect with Desmond Kwek Bo Yang , the boy he saved from drowning 19 years ago.

Speaking to Bernama, Desmond, now 26 years old and residing in Tokyo, Japan, said he had never thought that he would finally be able to reconnect with Umar, whom he referred to as Uncle Umar, after nearly two decades. "One particular user wrote: ‘That is my father ’. We got in touch via Facebook and exchanged phone numbers,” he told Bernama.

Desmond, the eldest of three siblings, is from Kuala Lumpur. His interest in the Japanese language led him to The Land of The Rising Sun where he pursued his education in Film and Drama Production in Osaka in 2022.
