When most people are winding down at home after a nine-hour workday, Muhammad Fitri Abu Bakar is just beginning another kind of mission. As dusk falls, he walks through narrow alleyways behind buildings or low-cost flats — places often overlooked — to fulfil a duty that rarely ends with office hours.
He doesn’t complain, even when drenched in the rain. What matters most to him is that there are lives to be saved.
“No, I’m not a doctor. I’m a Community Health Worker — and my ‘patients’ are people living with HIV/AIDS,” said the soft-spoken man in his early 30s when met by Bernama recently.
