For Su Ah Hoi, 68, waiting in line at the KL Sentral cabbie stand for customers meant possibly waiting for money to buy his next meal, explaining how business has been almost non-existent since mid-March. When asked if the dangers of getting infected had any effect in discouraging him from going out to work, Su said that ultimately he was the breadwinner and needed to work to put food on the table.
Su, who spoke to us early this morning, was unfortunately still anticipating his first customer of the day some three hours later along with a line of other cabbies also waiting for passengers. According to Yee, they usually earned between RM70 and RM80 daily before the CMCO, with many Malaysians now choosing to confine themselves at home.
