He was 84 years old.Two days ago he passed away in his sleep.Not on his bed or at a hospital but on a chair while taking a nap at a bikeshop in Petaling Jaya.According to the bikeshop owner,this old man always came to his shop even though his bicycles needs no repairs.He came for a chat-yes,for a chat.He mus have been very lonely.On the day he passed away,he asked the shopowner to join him for lunch.The shopwoner refused because he was very busy attending to his business.So the old man named Uncle took a seat and slept on it.He never wake up...
No one cared to know his name.He was just an old man on his own riding an old bike.I have seen a few of them in town.If you see any of them in town,at least give them a smile...we are too busy even to know their names.What more caring about them...
Below is a photo of one of them I took many years ago at Kg.Pandan,KL.Just look at the hands and the bike...
