If you take the Old Klang Road from Happy Garden to PJ you would have definitely seen him. There's an old man, at least 60 years old, probably a Malay who sits beside the road on the divider every day. He sits near the crossroad beside the police station. That's where the road from PJ, Happy Garden and Puchong meets.
I normally drive pass the road at 10pm. Since I was not feeling well today (read earlier post) I was there at 4pm today. To my surprise, he was also there. Does he sit on the divider the whole day? Where's his family? His legs were swollen and he was on clutches. He probably have some kind of PAD. He mentioned that he has Gout and DM when I spoke to him today.
He was begging for money actually. He had a small plastic container which he waves to passing car. I gave him RM 10 to which he responded with a lot of thank you. I was feeling generous. I know I was probably getting conned but hey, it makes him happy and I'm happy to see him happy. Moreover, The happiness gained from giving joy to others lasts longer than the happiness gained from self pleasure. Try it. Its a nice feeling.
