Not a few people are willing to work hard in overseas cities to meet their daily needs, so it is not uncommon for you to find moments when people work hard without knowing the time and conditions.
As seen in the upload from the TikTok account @witagemilang. In the video, he shows the moment a middle-aged man is driving a red public transportation in the West Jakarta area. Seeing an old man as a public transportation driver is a common sight, but the sad thing is that this man uses an oxygen tube while working.

As was done by the owner of the Instagram account @winditv who was finally able to find the man. From the video upload, it is known why the public transportation driver uses an oxygen hose while working. The account owner also explained the conditions and situation the man was facing. It is known from the upload caption that the public transportation driver's name is Sa'at, who is originally from Medan and migrated to Jakarta.

Sa'at has to earn a living for himself and his wife. Even though he doesn't have children, Sa'at must continue to struggle to meet his daily needs. Even though he is no longer young, Sa'at is still enthusiastic about making money because it turns out he has to pay Rp. 1 million in rent every month. Usually, he leaves the rented house early in the morning and only comes home at 9 pm.
This is one of the reasons why Sa'at continues to work even though he has to use an oxygen tube. It is known from the upload that it turns out he was suffering from heart disease and lung problems which made him short of breath. Sa'at's daily needs include the cost of refilling oxygen, amounting to IDR 30 thousand per day. Not infrequently he also has to be rushed and hospitalized at least 3 times a month.

Not getting help from relatives or neighbors when he had to be rushed to hospital, Sa'at had to drive his own public transportation accompanied by his wife, the same goes for working as an public transportation driver. The condition of the public transportation car is quite old, so Sa'at has to put more effort into driving it with the oxygen cylinder next to the transmission gear.
