I chose the cheapest to buy. Now I don\u2019t have to worry about my children going hungry,\u201d Sivakumar A\/L Raman said to the Tzu Chi volunteers who were visiting his family. The 44-year-old father smacked the bags of rice with a big smile. Tzu Chi\u2019s aid had allowed him to breathe easier.<\/p><p>The volunteers\u2019 visit to Sivakumar took place on March 1, 2022. When they arrived at his home in Klang, Selangor, they were greeted by his children, dressed nicely for the occasion, standing outside to welcome them. Sivakumar and his wife lit some incense and devoutly worshiped at their home altar. Then the master of the house began eagerly sharing with the volunteers how he had bought three bags of rice as soon as he had received Tzu Chi\u2019s cash aid for February.<\/p><p>\u201cI immediately phoned Mr. Lee when I received the 950 ringgits [US$217] of aid,\u201d said Sivakumar. (\u201cMr. Lee\u201d is how Sivakumar refers to volunteer Lee Eng Foo [\u674e\u52c7\u752b].) \u201cHe told me part of the money was to help my three children start a new school term.\u201d Sivakumar expressed his heartfelt thankfulness for Tzu Chi before continuing: \u201cAfter withdrawing the money from the bank, I bought rice and other food, as well as uniforms and school supplies for my children. The remaining money I put away for unexpected expenses.\u201d<\/p><p>The faces of Sivakumar\u2019s children were lit with delight as they looked at the new uniforms, book bags, and exercise books their father had bought, arrayed neatly on a long table. Seeing their smiles, the visiting volunteers asked them why they were so happy. Sivakumar\u2019s second daughter shyly replied, \u201cBecause I haven\u2019t worn a new uniform to school in a long time.\u201d<\/p><p>Looking at the youngsters thumbing through their new exercise books, the volunteers were thrilled to see how Tzu Chi\u2019s aid had led them to look forward to school. They were also happy to have helped lighten Sivakumar\u2019s burden.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7ab3b163 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7ab3b163\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-736e5745\" data-id=\"736e5745\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bef160f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7bef160f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Financial woes<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b49d348 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b49d348\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sivakumar is from a large family with 11 children. He never received any formal education, having had to help support his family growing up. He did all sorts of odd jobs to help his family make do: felling trees, tending cattle, and cleaning ditches, among other types of work. He started working for Lee Chooi Kiat Garden at age 24, erecting canopies and tents. For 20 years, he earned daily wages, leading a regular and peaceful life. Never in his wildest dream did he expect a pandemic to upset his predictable life.<\/p><p>Volunteers made their first visit to Sivakumar last December, after a school referred him to Tzu Chi for help. Sivakumar and his family lived in a house converted from a shipping container. The peeling paint on the structure told a story 20 years old; the wooden walls, bearing signs of wear and tear, strained to shelter the family. The volunteers saw two dining tables of different sizes when they stepped into the living room. On one stood the only luxury in the home: an old television set. In a corner of the living room was a metal stand supporting a wooden plank. An altar had been set up there. Sivakumar and his wife prayed sincerely at the altar every morning. A coin bank on the altar had been brought home eight years before by Sivakumar\u2019s second son. It was from a Tzu Chi scholarship award ceremony.<\/p><p>Sivakumar fished out his work log for December from a fanny pack he was wearing and showed it to the volunteers. He said, \u201cI\u2019ve worked less than ten days this December, earning less than 500 ringgits [US$114]!\u201d He had been making 2,000 ringgits (US$457) a month before the COVID-19 pandemic, so it was easy to imagine his misery, especially having to support eight children. \u201cMy boss had his worst year in 2020,\u201d he added. \u201cI didn\u2019t receive any pay for several months. Fortunately, this place is a dormitory provided by my employer, so I don\u2019t have to worry about rent and utility bills.\u201d<\/p><p>He continued: \u201cI always encourage my kids to apply themselves in school. I tell them if they are better educated, they can at least get a job in a supermarket and have a steady income. I don\u2019t want them to end up like me, working outside in all kinds of weather, braving the hot sun and rain.\u201d He said he\u2019d do everything he could to support their studies as long as they are willing to stay in school.<\/p><p>With a family of ten to support, Sivakumar bent over backward to make a living. If he had no tents or canopies to set up, he asked around for other work opportunities, earning a daily wage of 30 to 50 ringgits (US$9-11) doing odd jobs. He never received any help from his siblings, but he never complained. He said that everyone had their challenges to tackle, especially during the pandemic. He looked upon what he was facing as a test from heaven. He vowed that he\u2019d rather starve himself than let his wife or children starve.<\/p><p>\u201cI eat when there is enough food to go around,\u201d said the father. \u201cWhen there isn\u2019t, I don\u2019t mind going hungry.\u201d He added that when he was doing better financially, he bought roti canai (an Indian flatbread) for his children to eat as breakfast. When he was doing even better, he bought Chinese chow mien, fried vermicelli, and fried rice to serve as dinner for his kids. \u201cThat\u2019s what they look forward to the most. Even though they get to experience that kind of happiness only once a month or two, it doesn\u2019t matter\u2014what matters is that I live up to my promise of treating them to \u2018fancy meals,\u2019\u201d he said with a smile.<\/p><p>Though strapped for cash, Sivakumar was grateful that all his children were in good health. His eldest son was 18 and worked as a lorry attendant, receiving daily wages. He told his son, \u201cI don\u2019t ask for much from you.

The motor scooter he had used to get around for over ten years was broken, and it would cost several hundred ringgits to repair. He was trying to find extra work to defray that cost.<\/p><p>It happened that Tzu Chi volunteer Koh Chuan Gea (\u9ad8\u6cc9\u85dd) needed help assembling some metal framework at that time. Though it wasn\u2019t something Sivakumar was good at, he quickly learned the ropes and pitched in. \u201cIt\u2019s good to learn new skills,\u201d Sivakumar said. \u201cThe tents I set up are sometimes higher than these metal structures, so I shouldn\u2019t have any problems with this assembling work.\u201d He worked intently on-site with his temporary boss and other workers, happy that he\u2019d have some extra money to bring home that day.<\/p><p>Sivakumar\u2019s friends knew he didn\u2019t have a steady income, so whenever there was any work opportunity, they\u2019d tell him about it. \u201cIf I just sit at home, no one is going to give me money,\u201d he said. \u201cMy kids are still young. What if they fall ill? If things at home break, we need money to fix them too.\u201d<\/p><p>Volunteer Lee Eng Foo is a husband and father too, like Sivakumar. \u201cThe house Sivakumar and his family live in would be considered normal\u2014if we were living in the 80s,\u201d Lee said. \u201cBut it\u2019s quite primitive by current standards.\u201d<\/p><p>Lee was even more stunned when he saw the family\u2019s simple dinner. Fried greens, curry sauce, and curry chicken were each contained in different metal bowls, from which Sivakumar\u2019s wife dished out the foods onto plates for her eldest daughter to distribute to the other children sitting on the floor. There was no furniture for them to sit on to eat. They had been eating on the floor since they were little.<\/p><p>\u201cI am a father myself,\u201d Lee said. \u201cI know that raising four kids is difficult, let alone eight. But I\u2019ve learned from my interactions with Sivakumar that he doesn\u2019t mind how hard he has to work, as long as he can make sure his children are fed and clothed. He also puts such a premium on their education. I really admire him.\u201d<\/p><p>On March 18, when volunteers visited the family again, they brought with them a surprise present\u2014a framed picture of the family taken during the volunteers\u2019 previous visit. The entire family, adults and children alike, broke into smiles when they saw the portrait. The youngest son couldn\u2019t take his eyes off the picture, his face radiant with delight. The scene moved volunteer Koh Poo Leng (\u8a31\u97f3\u82de\u73b2) to no end. She was the one who decided to have the picture developed and given to the family as a gift. She was really happy she made the decision.<\/p><p>When Sivakumar was helpless, Tzu Chi volunteers extended a helping hand and were able to witness a father\u2019s solid love for his family. Their interactions revealed a heartwarming story of love and care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18162c85 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18162c85\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-612052ad\" data-id=\"612052ad\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ba8d6af elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1ba8d6af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/CS_KA20220301_tpf01_025.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/CS_KA20220301_tpf01_025.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/CS_KA20220301_tpf01_025-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/CS_KA20220301_tpf01_025-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/CS_KA20220301_tpf01_025-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/CS_KA20220301_tpf01_025-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/CS_KA20220301_tpf01_025-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b63231e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b63231e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Sivakumar\u2019s daughters smile cheerfully, clad in new school uniforms their father purchased with money provided by Tzu Chi.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b31545a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2b31545a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-705f520 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"705f520\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dbf12c8\" data-id=\"dbf12c8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-542f6a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"542f6a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

Its impact on the nation was significant and wide-ranging. To help families struggling through this difficult time, the Tzu Chi Kuala Lumpur and Selangor branch launched a COVID-19 relief program in July 2020.<\/p><p>Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country. The program\u2019s name, \u201cKita1Keluarga,\u201d came from Malay, meaning \u201cwe are one family.\u201d Tzu Chi helped 2,178 families in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Putrajaya under the program, from September to November 2020, providing them with short-term cash aid. Tzu Chi later launched other aid projects in response to changing COVID circumstances, including providing electronic devices for remote learning and distributing food to needy families.<\/p><p>In the second half of 2021, 580,000 middle-income families in Malaysia were plunged into low-income status. Tzu Chi responded by initiating \u201cKita1Keluarga 2.0.\u201d In addition to calling on applicants\u2019 homes, volunteers took the initiative to visit over 260 schools and, with the help of teachers, located more families in need of help. The distribution of aid was completed this February, benefiting 2,012 households.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-94d6d71 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"94d6d71\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-078f9fb\" data-id=\"078f9fb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-766dd1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"766dd1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/07\/\u82f1\u6587\u9801\u5c3e-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019d rather starve myself than let my eight children starve.
