On 3 July, Malaysian content creator Hwa-G aka @hwa.g_sugarboys on TikTok posted a series of conversations he had with homeless folks in the country.
One of them was Mr Wong, who has lived on a skybridge at Petaling Street for over a year, with only a piece of cardboard for comfort.

Mr Wong shared that he was unable to work due to the injuries on his leg, purportedly caused by “the second immunisation dose”.
“When I stand and walk too long my leg hurts,” added Mr Wong. “My leg will swell.”

As it turns out, Mr Wong moved from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur for work but could not continue when his condition worsened.
He said that he has tried seeking advice from doctors to no avail.

Mr Wong then shared that there had been someone who was willing to help him with his situation.
However, they have not followed up on their promises, as two months have passed since their last interaction.

Tearing up, he admitted, “I wanted to die but I can’t.”
Mr Wong has also had to scavenge for food from the trash and accept money from strangers in an effort to eke out a living.
