This #Christmas, know that the spirit of giving lives in the people we least expect. This is an inspirational holiday story of a modern-day Santa Claus - 74-year-old Yeo Siak Eing - who runs a makeshift stall selling second-hand goods in Singapore's Eunos estate.

Selfless man that does whatever he can in order to improve another person’s life. Really hats off to this old man.

Has cancer, old age, still decided to work. Its true some people complain how older generation still works at hawker centers but dont realize many decide to do it because staying at home will make them even sicker. And I hope this uncle keeps doing what he loves and a good health.

This is a man with a beautiful soul! He is the perfect example of a person who is empowered to live life with fairness, courage, humility, service and human dignity. He has a heart of gold and gives whatever little he has to people who have less. Being cancer stricken does not stop him from living a normal and full life and doing more for himself and others. He makes sure he does not become a burden to society. I'm a cancer patient too and I know what it's like to go through the treatments of chemotherapy and radiation and the horrible side effects on your body and general well being. This man forge on to battle this disease and at the same time find strength, purpose and contentment in doing what he likes to do and spreading love, kindness and joy to others who need it more. People who are down and out are often ostracised and abandoned by society, even family and friends but if they find the inner strength and courage to walk out of their darkness and do something for themselves and even others, life is still good and worth living for. They will show they can be bigger than others despite their own limitations because they choose to take control of their lives and rise up above all challenges.

To be honest , the problem with Singapore this country is that the government leads (educates) its people to look down at those poor or people not so wealthy . Well , for a country only consistently seeking for higher GDP, that's absolutely normal , I guess.
