Hey, do you know we're suffering?

Some business premises are seen closed during MCO 2.0 at Jalan Masjid India. (Jan 14, 2021) — AZHAR MAHFOF/The Star

I received a call from a friend asking for help last Saturday morning. The friend, who used to be in direct-sales business, asked me whether I knew any horse grass egg dealer, as she needed to make a little money for Chinese New Year.

I could feel her anxiety at the other end of the line.
