A young man has stolen the hearts of many netizens online for his earnest effort as a food delivery rider, despite the struggle of having to work with only one arm.
In sharing his experience with mStar, the viral rider, named Ahmad Nabil Rosli, revealed that he had lost his left arm in an accident which took place five years ago.
The 23-year-old recalled that he fell asleep while riding his motorcycle one day. As revealed by Nabil, the accident took place on 14th May 2017. “My left arm was badly injured when the bike I was riding skidded off the road divider. We eventually decided to get it amputated,” Nabil told the portal.
He added, “I accept what happened. Now, I’m getting used to wearing my prosthetic arm while doing delivery jobs.” Nabil also explained his reason for wearing a prosthetic arm to work. According to him, “This artificial arm is able to withstand the impact in case I fall off my motorcycle. The skin of my left shoulder is thin, so it can give me more protection.”
Apart from that, the viral rider also revealed that he chose to wear the prosthetic arm to “cover his imperfection” while he’s out there making a living. “I don’t want people to sympathise with me. I want to stand on my own feet. Also, I want customers to feel comfortable with my presence. I’m still fine with adults, but somehow, I wonder how would the kids react to my appearance…”
“Once, I was rushing to deliver my customer’s order that I forgot to put my prosthesis on. When I arrived at the customer’s house that day, the child of the house owner (who came out to pick up the food) quickly ran into their house. Probably they were scared because I only have one arm.” Nabil shared.
“In addition to doing food deliveries, I also have another ‘job’, which is supporting other people’s bundle business on TikTok,” Nabil added in the chat, “I’m doing this job for free, without any payment. Actually, I wanted to serve in the army, by following my dad’s footsteps. But, I had to let go of that dream after I lost my left arm due to the accident.”
Nabil also revealed that he has been receiving various offers to review products on his platform. For those who are interested, you can check him out on his TikTok here.
