Upon his arrival at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport , Zaidi Mohd Zaid, 54, of Kubang Rawa, Salor, Kota Bahru, Kelantan was greeted by more than a dozen family members and relatives.
However, what was it that kept Zaidi apart from his family all these years? What caused him to go incommunicado for almost three decades and what prompted him to finally return to the family fold?In an exclusive interview with Bernama, Zaidi said it all started when he made the decision to drop out of university.
A quest to earn extra money during his undergraduate years led Zaidi to take up a part-time job as a waiter in a pizza restaurant in Sacramento. Having had a sampling of financial independence, Zaidi found himself overcome by the desire to make even more money. By the third year of his studies, he made the decision to drop out of university to work full-time.
He soon found that life in a foreign land, without a degree or family by his side, was no bed of roses. For the first five years, he shared an apartment in Sacramento with five other Malaysian students. He earned a living by working odd jobs, waiting tables and sorting mail in a warehouse. “It was one of the hardest times in my life, constantly moving from place to place, looking for work as I slept outside or in homeless shelters whenever I could find one.
