Homeless Dad Sells You Tiao To Rent House For Family, Long Queues Form At Stall

Homeless Dad In Malaysia Sells You Tiao So He Can Rent A House With His 2 Daughters

With the economy on a steep downward spiral in 2020, livelihoods became threatened as jobs were lost and businesses suffered. Hoping to put a roof over his young daughters’ heads, a homeless Malaysian dad resorted to selling you tiao or deep-fried dough.

He pasted a note on his food cart appealing to people to buy flavoured you tiao from him so that he can afford to rent a house for the girls.
