As a result, most are now dependent on charity and the support of non-governmental organisations just to survive the MCO period. But with the MCO in effect, the only work he could find is as a runner for small home businesses, earning a measly RM3 per trip. “The MCO extension gives me mixed feelings. I feel sad because it means my husband can’t work and we will be running out of cash, but I also feel that it is a good initiative to break the chain of infection and I don't have to worry about my siblings going to school during this pandemic, ” she added.
"Our income has been zero since the MCO started. Customers started to cancel events and ask for refunds. Kardi and over twenty of his friends are among those left stranded by the factories they were working at. “It is a very sad and humbling experience for me, and it makes me reflect on my life and my children. Now I hardly waste food, and I tell my kids to do the same, ” she said.
“It does not matter if you are doing a part time, full time, half day or even hourly job -- you need to have an agreement on how to be compensated, ” he said.
