Malaysia's germ-busting clown finds new role in pandemic

TAIPING, Malaysia - When the coronavirus pandemic struck Malaysia, Shaharul Hisam Baharudin, like many others working closely with people, soon lost his work as an entertainer who juggled and sometimes dressed up as a clown.

For his new role, he adapted the smoke machine he had used at parties to become a disinfection device, while providing some extra cheer by entertaining children in his clown outfit, completed by a surgical mask with a painted-on red nose and smile. "So with this kind of appearance, maybe I can entertain them and cheer them up, while disinfecting their house," he added.

His antics soon went viral online, with clients praising him for bringing some much needed fun to their homes during a difficult time.
