The man claimed the bike was his sole source of income, providing for both himself and his family.
Sympathy and support flooded in from netizens, with many offering donations to assist the elderly man in need.

He just came to pray Jumaat today and his bike was stolen before he finished praying. According to him, it is his only means of survival and feeding his family 😟, and now it’s gone. Please, guys, let’s make this man happy by getting him a new bike. I know the country is hard right now, but every contribution counts.#สโลว์สมูท
