He went hungry as a kid, now he feeds the needy

RICK Chee knows what being hungry feels like. He comes from a family with 11 brothers and three sisters, and his father was a lorry driver, so Chee knows all about sharing a plate of rice with just plain sambal.

“No matter how you look at it, there was never enough for us to eat. I had to fight with my siblings those days for food. For me, it is so morally wrong to throw away food,’’ he says.
