GEORGE TOWN: The blazing sun only steels their resolve to maintain their tasks even during Ramadan.
And it only takes a day for Ibrahim Ghany Abdul Hamid to adjust to the abstinence of food and drink while continuing with his work as a Penang Island City Council (MBPP) sweeper.
“I’ve been doing this for more than 30 years. The first day is tough but after that, it’s like normal, ” the 59-year-old said.
Like general workers in local authorities nationwide, the 3D work – dangerous, dirty and difficult – goes on during the fasting month.
Ibrahim Ghany said he would try not to unduly strain himself during the fasting month.
