Andrew ordered a bowl of Sarawak kolo mee, while I opted for my favourite hawker meal — a plate of steamed chicken rice.

Both of our meals were prepared by differently-abled trainees and both were delicious.
The trainee was a young woman with bipolar disorder who was trained by Koh, and was "very clever", he told us.
Koh was able to place the woman into a job which was very good for her, as her boss was very kind, he explained:
However, things changed when the woman had a change of supervisor. Based on CCTV footage that Koh saw, the new supervisor would "scream at her, shout at her, take things [and] throw at her".
One day, after work, the young woman went home and committed suicide.
Koh found out about the woman's death through a call from the police, as his name card had been in her pocket.
