GEORGE TOWN: For S. Ganesh, a 30-year-old Proton Saga Aeroback has been home to his family of five for the past eight months.
It is also the only home his eight-month-old daughter has ever known.
The 33-year-old security guard has been living in the car with his wife Parameswari, 32, and two other daughters, ages six and three, since their Carnavon Street home caught fire in April.
Driving to various places to use public restrooms, his mobile home has had many sleepless nights and hunger pangs.
“We move and anywhere there is a public bathroom that we can use to bathe, wash our clothes and have access to running water.
“Sometimes we park along Sepoy Lines, Gurney Drive, Esplanade, or the school where I work,” he said Thursday (December 24).
Ganesh said that they lost everything in the fire and that we only had the clothes on and the Proton Saga that their mother gave us.
“I have no choice but to live in the car, as I cannot pay the deposits for a room or a house, and most ask for RM800 to RM900 in advance.
“I only earn RM1,200 a month and that money goes to my children’s food and diapers.
“At night I park my car near the school where I work to keep an eye on my family,” he said.
