Family would’ve been in dire straits if not for subsidy


Grateful: Chong on an outing with his wife Vivi and their three children.

PETALING JAYA: Tending to two durian farms in Kampung Sang Lee, Chong Kooi Long makes just enough to support his family. The 48-year-old found his other half – Vivi Tsia – by chance more than 10 years ago.

He proposed to her after several years of courtship and got married at the age of 40.
