Senai Old Town, revisit for the 3rd times,Have a nice chat with Madam Wong, a Coffee shop owner, worried that non of her children want to carry on the tradition while Mr. Chan , a handicap hawker is so proud that he able to self support by selling secondhand goods. The aging local carry on their fore-father trade while migrant provide the much needed manpower to this small town, some as Barber and some as factory worker.Even far away, For them staying in touch with friend and family are very important.
