Man was migrant worker, employer had taken his passport
The homeless man was later identified as Safiudeen Pakkeer Mohamed, a 39-year-old migrant from Tamil Nadu who came to Malaysia last year hoping to work as a cook to support his family.
According to Free Malaysia Today, his employer allegedly withheld his passport and wages, leaving him stranded without income or documentation.
Unable to secure work or housing, he ended up sleeping outside the Cheras bank where the incident occurred.
Despite the cruelty he faced, the incident spurred a lifeline: a good Samaritan who runs homeless shelters intervened and offered him shelter after seeing the video.
The man is now reportedly trying to regain his passport and return to lawful work.
