As she had more time to spend at home, Fatmawati Yaacob, 58, decided to conduct art activities with her grandson Adam Wafi Mohd Salahudin, five. Little did she know that her paintings which she produced just for fun would become a new source of income for her family. “I used to sell food such as kuih apam and nasi berlauk in a shed in Kampung Sireh but my business was affected by the MCO. “In terms of colouring, I use acrylic paint in order to ensure that my paintings will look realistic, and the paint is also not that expensive. “Most of the time, I refuse to charge a high price because my intention is to give alms while doing business,” she said.
