A Singaporean street food vendor regularly feeds so many of the needy residents who live near her business, that she and her husband hand out coupons so people can redeem meals from them.

Wang Li Er, 65, and her husband, Lee, run the Cambridge Road Hong Kong Roast Pork stall at the Pek Kio market.

According to a ChannelNewsAsia profile, the couple have been feeding residents in the neighbourhood for the past 40 years. They hand out around 140 meals a month.

The coupons help smoothen the process of handing out the free meals, and the couple goes around the neighbourhood handing them out each month to the needy, Wang says in a video feature by Tiger Beer.
