As ice cream sales are his main source of income, netizens have pledged to offer their support to him if they live close by.

Ice cream uncle was gifted a TV, meals & allowance

As Mr Ng stays alone, concerned netizens chipped in early May to gift him a brand new Panasonic television on 11 May.

They had also been providing sponsorship for his meals with a small allowance to help him out as he was unable to work.

If you wish to help brighten someone else’s day, you can consider becoming a sponsor too with Second Meal here.

Familiar face at Sim Lim Towers

The hardworking ice cream uncle has been spotted hawking his signature rainbow bread and wafer ice cream over the years.

Even throughout the Chinese New Year festivities in 2018, as pointed out by this netizen’s post.

A lifelong passion that’s truly inspiring

We’re extremely glad that Mr Ng has delved right back into doing what he’s passionate about. Those who stay near the area can meet him in person – while wearing a mask & observing proper social distancing measures – of course.

If you don’t live near Sim Lim, you can leave your well-wishes on Happy People Helping People’s Facebook post here, and we’re sure they’ll communicate it to Mr Ng directly.

All the best to Mr Ng and his ice cream business, we pray for his health and safety in these trying times.
