A Rag-and-Bone Love Story: Help this karung guni man find a life partner

No second-hand love story for this 59-year-old man, he wants a true partner for life. Such commitment is his search for love that he wears it on his sleeve. 

Oh, and on his truck too — he actually installed a banner ad on his lorry about looking for a lover, listing down requirements such as the age range, nationality and marital status. 

Shin Min Daily News reports that the second generation karung guni (rag-and-bone) man Steven Chan is looking for love again after a failed marriage. Frequent arguments and “differences in thinking” between him and his former wife led to the divorce. They have a 23-year-old daughter together. 

According to him, the ad has attracted a caller already. A 46-year-old woman contacted him after seeing the banner, and he should be meeting up with her next week. 

One suggestion for Chan — he should make his rounds around HDB estates and honk his horn, but look for suitable partners instead of unwanted items.
