This grandfather has probably cooked up multiple chicken dinners at home — not from his kitchen, but his gaming chair. An elderly man in Malaysia reportedly earns RM6,000 (S$1,702) a month livestreaming the mobile version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) on TikTok, according to Malay publication Harian Metro on Monday (April 8).

Radhuan Othman, better known online as Pak Dhuan or PakDhuan Gaming on TikTok, is a 64-year-old grandfather of 16.

Speaking to Harian Metro, Radhuan explained that he started off exploring an interest he had in technology, before deciding to pursue gaming as a hobby.Although he had begun playing PUBG Mobile six years ago, Radhuan only started playing games in earnest during the pandemic, and got the idea to stream on TikTok as an additional source of income.

Radhuan also told the media that he feels the time spent is well worth it — he was placed among the top 10 'Top Famous' in the Ellando Agency TikTok Live Performance Appreciation Awards 22/23.Radhuan isn't the only one who's gotten into gaming at a later stage in life.
