Remnants of life in a container

Mr.Tadiyapan is a senior citizen who lives in a container in Tanjung Bunga Penang for 4 years, after he was dismissed from employment. He was born in penang in 1939 and he is now 72 years old and was living alone in a container at a construction site in Tanjung Bunga Penang. 4 years ago he lost a job as a security guard as a result of vision problems suffered by diabetics and he was unable to pay rent for the house he lived. Now he is getting help from the public on daily basis. Now his future is uncertain and the possibility he could be driven from the place he lived after the project was completed at a construction site. Now he hopes the government and the welfare department to help him to find a permanent solution.

He said, that he got married in India, there should be any chances to send him to his family. Need to get info about his family in India. He need peace and happiness at this age. If, we got to know about his family in India, we can do the neccessity to send him to his family. That's my suggestion. No point of waiting or depending on any of the parties to help him. Everybody are busy filling up their pockets...
