Out-of-job designer collects garbage as a service

AFTER losing her job as a designer for headscarves, fresh graduate Wan nur Elisa Adreena Wan Jusoh started collecting garbage in her neighbourhood for a RM1 fee, reported Harian Metro.

Wan nur Elisa was not ashamed to go from door to door in the walkup apartment in Shah Alam to collect garbage.

The 24-year-old uiTM graduate said she was inspired to initiate the garbage collection service after helping a friend distribute kuih to people during Ramadan.

“While waiting to secure another job, I offer door-to-door garbage collection service,” said Wan nur Elisa.

However, she said she limited her collection to two garbage bags per household.

“I only take domestic refuse, and do not handle disposal of big furniture and tools as there are no lifts here,” she said.

nur Elisa said she was not collecting garbage for mere monetary gain.

“I am providing aid in a different way. The fee may appear cheap and not worth the effort but I believe it would help the people,” she said.

Producer and actress Darling ngasri said the condition imposed by authorities would not pose a burden to producers.

“All this while, make-up artists have been using different make-up tools for every artiste while some artistes prefer to use their own,” she said.

Darling said they were grateful because the authorities had allowed them to resume work.

Actress Isyariana said artistes had been observing a healthy lifestyle during the movement control order (MCO).

“Observing cleanliness, using hand sanitisers, wearing masks and adopting other preventive measures have become part of the routine now,” she said.

Actress Ieda Moin said make-up artists had always emphasised on cleanliness and even encouraged artistes to bring their own cosmetic tools.
