After losing her job because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Vicneswary helps her mother run a fruit stall in Taman Suntex, Cheras. FMTNews Money Pandemic Fruits

KUALA LUMPUR: Exactly one month ago, Vicneswary, 23, contemplated ending her life. Penniless and living without electricity and water, life had become too unbearable to endure.

And without today’s income, she tells FMT, they will barely make it through the next day, and have nothing left over to save for rent. Despite the hardship, she says, the family of three was happy. However, her father died of a massive heart attack in October last year. He was only 55.Devastated by this turn of events, Vicneswary says her mother sunk into depression.

“It was also my father’s dream. And the prospect of being an investigative journalist sniffing around crime scenes sounded absolutely thrilling to me.”Not only did she lose her job in August because of the pandemic, their landlord served them with an eviction notice in November. Their home is practically bare except for a television set, a prayer altar, a fridge and a simple kitchen. She and her mother sit on the cold, hard floor and play with the two stray dogs they adopted.
