In a heartwrenching tale of perseverance and responsibility, a single father of four children, who also happens to be a shoemaker, is facing numerous challenges in his quest to provide for his family after going through a divorce.

Lepas bercerai dengan isteri kehulu kehilir usung anak termasuk yang still bayi pergi tempat kerja mencari rezeki sebab tak ada duit nak hantar pusat jagaan.

His unwavering dedication to caring for his children has led him to bring them along to work, even including the youngest, a mere baby.
His decision to do so was prompted by financial constraints that prevented him from affording childcare services. The shoemaker inherited his skills from his father at a young age, and for the past three years, he has been taking his children to his workplace.
3 tahun Nizam usung anak pergi tempat dia kerja. Jaga anak sambil nangis nak susu tapi dalam masa sama kena baiki kasut.

Pendapatan tak tentu sebab ada hari ramai & kadang2 tak ramai orang. Boleh dapat RM800 sebulan or kurang daripada tu.
Despite the difficult circumstances, he has managed to juggle taking care of his children, comforting them when they cry for nourishment, all while mending shoes. However, his income remains uncertain as some days the number of customers is substantial, while on other days, there are very few.
On a good month, he can earn approximately RM800, but it often fluctuates and can be even less.
Skg beban dah ringan sikit bila bekas isteri dia jaga 2 orang anak hujung tahun lepas. MAIJ pun ada tawarkan dia pindah premis lebih selesa tapi dia tak nak sbb takut hilang pelanggan tetap.

Dia pun dah tak bawa anak dia pergi tmpt kerja atas nasihat pihak JKM.
The burden of providing for his children was somewhat lightened when his former spouse agreed to take care of two of their children towards the end of last year. The Department of Social Welfare (MAIJ) had offered him the option to relocate to a more comfortable premise, but he declined the offer due to the fear of losing his regular customers.
Bila tak ada sapa jaga anak, dia kena kerja separuh hari. Jadi pendapatan dia makin kurang.

Baru ni dua2 anak dia kena admit hospital sbb paru2 ada kuman dengan darah sekali. Naik motor hantar hospital Sultan Ismail. pic.twitter.com/DkWpR4kvDu
Additionally, he has stopped bringing his children to the workplace based on the advice of the Department of Social Welfare (JKM). However, this means that he now has to work only part-time, leading to a further reduction in his income.
Recently, his two children fell seriously ill and were admitted to Sultan Ismail Hospital due to bacterial infections affecting their lungs and blood.
Skg dia ulang alik hantar anak pergi check up paru2, hidung & telinga lepas admit haritu. Nak kerja pun tak boleh.

This unfortunate incident has taken a toll on him as he now frequently shuttles back and forth to the hospital for their check-ups after their discharge. Consequently, he finds it difficult to focus on work.
He has already submitted an application for assistance to the Department of Social Welfare (JKM), but he is yet to receive any response or aid.
