Despite having a stable income, he has been living in his Proton Iriz supermini since January.
On his TikTok page, @guylivingincar, Mushamir shares more about his ‘house’, like how he uses his engine to dry his clothes. He also installed a generator to power his portable lights and multiple fans.On the weekends, he parks his car at his regular spot near his office in Petaling Jaya, and returns home to visit his mother. He used to drive 60km to work daily, but is now able to save money on petrol, parking fees, and toll costs.
His girlfriend is supportive of his lifestyle, and even joined him on an overnight trip to Genting Highlands, where they slept in his car.
