Hate Filling Up Forms? This Malaysian Uncle Turns Paperwork Frustration Into a Handy Service for Only RM5

For many of us, there’s nothing more annoying than being handed a bunch of forms at a hospital or government office—confusing questions, unfamiliar terms, and that nagging worry you might fill something in wrong.

While most people grudgingly navigate the process on their own, one elderly man has turned that shared frustration into a modest but meaningful way of earning some money.

An elderly man offering form-filling services outside a government office near the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) in Jalan Duta has captured the attention of netizens after his story went viral on social media.

In a post shared by @dianaosman83 on Threads, the senior citizen is said to charge between RM5 and RM10 for each form he helps complete.

“Form fillers still exist. This uncle charges RM5 depending on the type of form, and sometimes only RM10,” the user wrote.

“Anyone who is unsure or confused about how to fill out forms can seek help from him.”

The post included a photo of the man seated at a small desk, assisting members of the public with what appeared to be government-related documentation.
