Physically-challenged individuals who make a living by working as food delivery riders have earned much (well-deserved) respect:
And Malaysian Foodpanda rider Syahrain Fadzil is one of them.

Twitter user @sampockettrade shared his admiration for Syahrain and encouraged more Malaysians to get their food delivered by him.
What sets him apart from other food delivery riders is that he doesn't have hands.
According to an MStar report, Syahrain lost his hands in 2003 when he was nine years old, because of a bomb explosion:
"I didn't know it was a bomb. I was playing with it and it just exploded."
It took him three years to get used to living a life without his hands.
Earns up to RM800 a week
According to the tweet, Syahrain is a full-time food delivery rider in Kuala Lumpur and earns between RM600 (S$197.94) to RM800 (263.92) weekly.
When asked if he has ever faced any difficulty, he answered:
"I'm used to riding the motorcycle, no problem."
Shows how he rides motorcycle
The tweet has since garnered more than 9,000 retweets and a lot of netizens asked the same question:
"Just one question. How does he ride his motorcycle?"
"How does he ride the motorcycle?"
And Syahrain demonstrated exactly how he rides his motorcycle on a video he uploaded to Facebook on Jan. 12.
In case you're data-strapped, here's how he put on his helmet:
Then he proceeds to show how easy it is for him to start his motorcycle.
And off he goes:
Cool.
