As per [Wiki Impact](https://www.tiktok.com/@wikiimpact/video/7226671463141526790?embed_source=121352282%2C121351166%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%3Bnull%3Bembed_masking&refer=embed&referer_url=says.com%2Fmy%2Flifestyle%2Fmalaysian-uncle-sets-up-urban-orchard-kl&referer_video_id=7226671463141526790), Uncle Yen, also known by the name Yen Maseri Hj Idris, made the decision to quit his job following his son's demise. ![M](https://cdn.weirdkaya.com/media/msian-father-sets-up-urban-orchard-to-cope-with-his-sons-passing-5.png)Screengrab via [TikTok/Wiki Impact](https://www.tiktok.com/@wikiimpact/video/7226671463141526790?embed_source=121352282%2C121351166%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%3Bnull%3Bembed_masking&refer=embed&referer_url=says.com%2Fmy%2Flifestyle%2Fmalaysian-uncle-sets-up-urban-orchard-kl&referer_video_id=7226671463141526790) ## Quits his 32-year-long career in recruitment With a 32-year-long career in recruitment and a year spent as a gravedigger, Uncle Yen confessed that the loss of his son deeply affected him. To keep himself occupied, he resigned from his job and embarked on a personal project close to his residence.

Named as Urban Orchard KL, the area is now teeming with a variety of fruit trees and a pristine stream, providing a habitat for Tilapia fish and tortoises. He also cares for several stray animals in the vicinity. ![M](https://cdn.weirdkaya.com/media/msian-father-sets-up-urban-orchard-to-cope-with-his-sons-passing-4.png) Initially, Uncle Yen financed the project from his own savings. He has since established a club of 150 members who contribute financially for necessities such as protective gates or veterinary bills for the stray animals. ![M](https://cdn.weirdkaya.com/media/msian-father-sets-up-urban-orchard-to-cope-with-his-sons-passing-7.png) Although the orchard is currently not open to the public, Uncle Yen envisions it as a place for the younger generation to enjoy. He also harbors a dream of establishing an ice cream shop in the same area someday. "This is my gift to the youth. All I do is maintain the orchard, and that alone brings me immense joy. I've always told the young ones that this is for them," Uncle Yen shares.
