Homemade 'hazmat' suit
A Terengganu man recently turned heads when he went grocery shopping in his own homemade 'hazmat' suit.According to Bernama, the man known as Zamakhyari Khairiri chose to wrap himself up with a plastic garbage bag, complete with a mask, ski goggles and rubber boots.
Braving curious and strange looks he got from people who bumped into him along his journey, the 41-year-old engineer set out to complete his task.
"In the current situation, I don't care what other people think, and in fact, this is a way I remind others on the steps that must be taken to curb the spread of the virus.
"In places like this (supermarket), there is a high risk of infection, and this is my small way of taking care of the safety of my family and the people around me, ” he told the news agency.
Zamakhyari, who hails from Kampung Bukit Payong, said he got his three children to help him put on his ‘protective suit’.
One thing’s for sure: he will stay safe from COVID-19 after all his effort!
