Mput
November 12 2018

Mput is 12 years old. He came to Bantar Gebang from their hometown, Karawang, when he was 1.

His Mum, Mursi, works sorting rubbish from the dump whilst his Dad is a trash hero (scavenger). He works hard at school and wants to be a policeman when he grows up so he can catch thieves. In the meantime he gives everyone a run for their money, especially foreigners (i.e. me) who come to Bantar Gebang.

He also has one of the biggest smiles in the world with a heart to match.
