Teen orphans looking after youngest sibling, selling noodles to surviveQUOTEHAVING lost both parents within a year, a pair of teenage siblings are now selling wantan noodles so they can fend for themselves and care for their nine-year-old brother. Yap Jia Hao, 19, said his entire family contracted Covid-19 in September last year. This forced Jia Hao and his 17-year-old sister Zi Yu to start selling wantan mee at a coffeeshop in Jalan Beringin, Taman Melodies, Johor Baru. “I cook the dish while my sister serves the customers,” said Jia Hao when interviewed at the stall. Jia Hao has just obtained a driver’s licence but has no plans to buy a car just yet.
