00:00You can do a lot of things with Askar.
00:02You can take a lorry, sing, sew, change flowers, or make a flame.
00:08That's what you can do. What else do you want?
00:16Assalamualaikum. I am Hamid Uble Abdul Karim.
00:19I come from Sinpampul, Kuala Lumpur.
00:22I am a photographer.
00:24I am a photographer.
00:26I am a photographer.
00:28My name is Hamid Uble Karim. I am from Sinpampul, Ipoh, Perak.
00:31I am 54 years old.
00:33I am married and have four children.
00:35I started working in the army in 1990.
00:39I retired in 2013.
00:42I have been in the military for three years.
00:46I remember when we were about to return to Bujan in Sungai Besi.
00:51I was sitting behind the tailboard.
00:55I felt dizzy.
00:57I felt like my head was spinning.
00:59When I woke up, I was in the hospital.
01:02My family was worried about me.
01:05Alhamdulillah, I am still young.
01:07Askar retired early.
01:09He is only 43 years old.
01:12My children are still in school.
01:14I had to look for a job.
01:18This is my job as a lorry driver.
01:27After I finished my sewing course,
01:30I was offered to drive a lorry as a driver.
01:35When I got the job, I was able to deliver goods.
01:42I used to hold a stick.
01:44Now, this is my weapon.
01:46I hold a needle to earn money for my family.
01:50I have been doing this since I was a kid.
01:52We are very hardworking.
01:55I became interested in sewing.
02:01While I was sewing, I was also a tailor.
02:06Now, I am a tailor.
02:09I sew flowers automatically.
02:12My second child is getting married.
02:14People say that there is a reason to change.
02:20I decided to do it.
02:21I asked my cousin.
02:23He said that I was pretty.
02:24So, I decided to do it.
02:25At first, I was interested in singing.
02:29But, there were opportunities in the army.
02:31After I retired,
02:33I hung out with the members of the karaoke shop.
02:38I tried it.
02:39But, I was afraid and embarrassed.
02:43When I sang,
02:45the members said that I was good at singing.
02:57At that time, there were a lot of karaoke competitions.
03:01I dared to try it.
03:03When I was selected for the final,
03:07I felt that I was really good at singing.
03:11My sweetest experience was when I won the Paralympics.
03:17Praise be to God.
03:18At that time, I was still working.
03:20When I was working, the members said that I was going to be in the final.
03:23I was preparing.
03:24I was thinking about how to perform the song.
03:35I had a bad memory.
03:36When I sang,
03:38I went home late at night.
03:41The next morning, I went back to work.
03:43But, I was still interested in singing.
03:56When I was in trouble,
03:57when I lived in Melaka,
04:00I was in debt.
04:02I couldn't afford to pay off my wife's debt.
04:07That's why I was in trouble.
04:09Now, praise be to God,
04:11I can't pay off my debt.
04:12At first, I could pay off my debt.
04:14But, after that,
04:15I couldn't pay off my debt.
04:17I couldn't pay off my debt.
04:19I couldn't pay off my debt.
04:22I hope that everyone will succeed.
04:25But, I have a dream.
04:28I want to continue with the gold medal competition.
04:31I want to try my luck.
04:33If I succeed,
04:35God willing, I want to bring my family to Mekah Umrah.
04:39That's my intention.
04:40Hi, I'm Amir.
04:41I'm from Melaka.
04:42I'm from Melaka.
04:43I'm from Melaka.
04:44I'm from Melaka.
04:45I'm from Melaka.
04:46I'm from Melaka.
04:47I'm from Melaka.
04:48I'm from Melaka.
04:49I'm from Melaka.
04:50Hi, I'm Amir.
04:51What are you waiting for?
04:52Let's go!
