Enduring the heat and even rain under his makeup and costumes is not an ideal job for a 53-year-old man but Roslee, better known as “Uncle Ting Tong”, doesn’t think twice when it comes to putting on a show. Roslee, who has always had a passion for entertaining, is not stingy with his knowledge and has helped train over 50 clowns throughout his career, 10 of whom are professional clowns.This is how he supplements his income as he does not always have the option of going out to perform, especially when his children fall sick.
More than 50% of the family’s earnings, he said, goes towards his children’s medication and treatment.
