The pandemic has made us see the good side of people. Many of us have realized that unity and helping each other at the time of crisis will make it easier for us to surpass these tough times. The 28-year-old former boxer, Jason Chua has been serving free meals to people in Singapore since early April.

The lockdown is necessary but it has also made people suffer all across the world from people not having work to many not being able to get the essentials due to lack of funds. The only way out is to help each other and thatâs exactly what the tattoo-covered former boxer is doing. Chua said, âThe pandemic has not been great for business although he is getting by.â

He serves food to dozens of people every day. He said, âYes, we are losing, we are not exactly taking a salary for a few months already, but we still do maybe 10 to 25 orders per day for our business side, so that we can still sustain ourselves throughout this period of time.â

He was inspired by a close friend who gave a meal to a homeless man and later, Chua got motivated to give out free meals to the needy. Now, he gives out around 50-60 meals a day through his foundation âBeng Who Caresâ which is co-led by his friend Sean Hung. People who are requesting free meals belong to low-income families and reached to the foundation through their social media pages.

Chua described himself as an adrenaline junkie and said, âSurprisingly, the feedback is amazingâ¦It motivates you. I crave a lot of praises, and those praises are what is pushing me and motivating me to do what I really love.â

We need more people like Chua!
