A mother selling Malaysian breakfast original (not today, Singapore) nasi lemak for RM1 (US$0.25) from her car boot has gone viral, after netizens could not help but admire her hard work and dedication to her children.

Facebook user Siakap Keli Press, came across the woman, selling the food in an Ampang Petronas station, next to the Tesco and MRR2. They wrote:

“She has to look after her three kids while making a living at the same time, it must be so tiring. I know how she feels. I find it hard to control just two kids while taking them out shopping.”

Literally juggling three children, as she dished out nasi lemak, Keli was also impressed by how well-behaved her children were. For the most part, they waited patiently as their mother worked.

The post was shared 22,000 times and the stall has since seen a surge in customers. Here’s to hoping for continued success, and hopefully some down time for the hard-working mum.
