FOR 70-year-old Mansor Ali, music is his way to express his inner feelings and to connect with others.
He has been giving this expression form in the past two years, busking with friends at the Citta Mall in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya.
But when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, his music sessions took on a new purpose – to reach out to musicians who have lost their only means of earning an income and are now struggling to make ends meet.
It has also become personal for Mansor. His eldest son Alvin Ariff, 43, recently lost his job, no thanks to the global scourge.
