阻断措施下87岁雪糕伯“休息”月余复工 网民:一定到场支持!

在森林大厦外推车售卖雪糕的老伯,在收到冠状病毒阻断措施影响下,被迫停工近月余,在政府放宽条例后,于上周五“重出江湖”,感叹道“46年来第一次休息这么久”。

现年87岁的雪糕伯黄哲文自1974年开始流动售卖雪糕,且已经在森林大厦外一卖就卖了将近20年,几乎成为当地的“标志”了。岂知就连沙斯(SARS)疫情期间都没停业的他,却受到阻断措施影响,被迫歇业了一个半月。

雪糕伯表示,自开始做起流动雪糕小贩至今,已经习惯天天“开摊”,下雨天才休息,没想到这次会休息这么久。

他表示,是在经过友人建议才在阻断措施实施期间歇业,住在芽笼峇鲁一个一房式组屋单位内,有义工提供三餐,每天除了看电视就没其他消遣了。

雪糕老板曾劝慢点复工

雪糕伯披露,其实在政府当局允许甜点业者于5月12日重新营业时,雪糕老板曾建议让他继续休息,但是他好不容易等到可以工作了,就直接推车出门了。

在阻断措施甫实施时,热心的雪糕老板曾担心黄哲文摆摊会有感染病毒的风险,因此劝他停业。后来政府加强阻断措施力度,甜点和糕点业被迫停工至本月5日,雪糕老板见黄哲文要“重操旧业”时,就再次劝他慢点开工。

然而黄哲文决定开工,雪糕老板就直接把干冰和雪糕送到森林大厦,以方便这位老人家工作。

此外,雪糕伯也感叹,当前的生意差得出乎他意料了。

他指出,基于目前仍在阻断措施,人流量少一定会给生意带来一定的打击。“以往卖切块雪糕,一天能卖出至少七条雪糕,所以进货的时候都会拿10条,想着分两天来卖,谁知道两天才卖了三条。”

他表示,虽然生意量不多,但是他还是愿意复工,因为有工作做就很开心了。而生意不好,他也不怕,“我有准备干冰,冰淇淋不会融化”。

雪糕伯为人友善,朋友很多,常年在该处售卖雪糕的自力更生精神也令人敬佩。

网民们对于雪糕伯复工表示赞赏,认为老人家多走动,见到不同的人和物,会更健康,精神更佳。不少网民还表示会在阻断措施后,“一定到现场支持一下”。
