Pak Tarno , a magician who once achieved popularity in the Indonesian entertainment world, now lives a very different life. After experiencing declining health due to a stroke, he lives in a simple rented house with his wife. In the rented house, Pak Tarno stores various merchandise that are his current source of livelihood.
The items sold by Mr. Tarno include children's toys, packaged betta fish, and calligraphy. Although his health condition limits his mobility, Mr. Tarno's spirit is still high when working. He sells in front of an elementary school in North Jakarta, sitting in a wheelchair while offering his wares to school children.
Pak Tarno's story of struggle has attracted sympathy from various circles. Several philanthropists , including celebrities and content creators, have provided financial assistance to ease his burden. One of them is Willie Salim, who provided Rp50 million in assistance to Pak Tarno. Despite this, Pak Tarno still chooses to sell to meet his daily needs and pay for his rent.
When Willie Salim visited Mr. Tarno's residence, the residence occupied by the 74-year-old man attracted attention. This is because Mr. Tarno lives in a small, one-room rental.
So what does Mr. Tarno's current rental look like? Let's take a peek at the portrait as summarized by brilio.net from TikTok @williesalim, Saturday (12/28).
