A local real estate agent, Lynn Loh, recently highlighted the dedication of an elderly cobbler operating in Holland Village. Despite poor air quality caused by the haze and a noticeable decline in customer traffic, the man continues to maintain his workstation daily to earn an income. Having repaired footwear for many years, the cobbler remains at his post with his tools, waiting for patrons. Loh shared footage of the craftsman on social media, encouraging residents to consider repairing their damaged shoes, sandals, or slippers rather than discarding them. This initiative aims to provide the elderly worker with much-needed business during a challenging period for his trade. The appeal emphasizes the importance of community support for local artisans who rely on their craft for their livelihood.
