A GrabFood rider in Malaysia with one hand has garnered attention online for completing 30 to 50 deliveries per day.

Ahmad Nabil, 26, uploads videos about his experience as a delivery rider on his TikTok account, which has more than 200,000 followers to date.

In one video, he documents a day in his life delivering food, and in another video, he continues to do so despite the rain.

Serious accident

Guang Ming Daily reported that before this, he lost his left arm in a 2017 traffic accident where his motorcycle was dragged to the middle of the road and caught fire, initially leaving him in a coma with serious injuries.

Though he survived after being rescued by doctors, he lost his left arm.

Hard work

However, that has not stopped him from continuing to deliver food on his motorcycle every day.

Sin Chew Daily reported that he told Sunshine Daily (transliterated) in an interview that he completes up to 50 orders per day.

In addition, he no longer wears a prosthetic hand to deliver food, as long-term use causes shoulder nerve pain.

He credits his family and friends for encouraging him and helping him face every challenge with a positive attitude.

This enabled him to never give up on returning to work and becoming self-reliant despite having a physical disability.

He hopes his experience will inspire more people not to give up when facing difficulties, and to embrace life's challenges with a positive attitude.
