Living day by day: Uncle Lim arranging cardboard he collected outside a shop in Kuala Lumpur.
KUALA LUMPUR: Every morning, just after dawn, a wiry old man pushes a squeaky trolley through the back alleys and market lanes in the heart of the city.
He’s known as Uncle Lim to neighbourhood hawkers and cleaners, most of whom nod at him as he passes by. His back is slightly hunched, hands calloused, eyes steady but distant.
