JOHOR BARU: Living in a squatter house and eating donated food has been the “new norm” for a family of four in Jalan Lumba Kuda, Bukit Chagar after they were evicted from their rented room for failing to pay rent.

The head of the household, Mohamad Farid Ibrahim, 34, who lost his job due to the Covid-19 outbreak, was previously working odd jobs and earned an income of at least RM60 a week.
