KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 — The resulting economic hardship of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns have left many in dire need of daily essentials.

But for a less fortunate man, all he wanted was a birthday cake to cheer up his mother who is also a person with disabilities (PwD) on her big day in these trying times.

Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng took to Twitter to relate his encounter with Shin (not his real name) on Saturday when he was distributing aid to the communities affected by the lockdown, who asked him for a birthday cake instead of aid or supplies.

“I asked if he wanted anything else, he just wanted to buy a cake for his mother, nothing else.”

Lim revealed that Shim was diagnosed with a spine tumour early this year where parts of his muscles shrink making him dependent on crutches.

“He relies heavily on his mother.”
