There was a small hiccup along the way: Loo was questioned by authorities after completing his third haircut. However, the matter appeared to be resolved quickly, and he soon resumed offering his services.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, Loo\u2019s comment section quickly filled with praise. Many applauded his kindness, with some calling it \u201ckampung spirit\u201d, while others said the world \u201cneeds more people like him\u201d.<\/p>\n
“Now this is charity,” one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n
Another netizen also praised Loo for being considerate and responsible, noting that he had covered the floor with a tarp to avoid making a mess.<\/p>\n
Loo is the founder of Francesco\u2019s Barber Club, a social initiative named after Pope Francis. Inspired by the late Pope\u2019s teachings, he has been offering free haircuts to people he meets on the streets.<\/p>\n
According to the initiative\u2019s Instagram page, Loo has provided haircuts not only to random passers-by, but also to migrant workers.<\/p>\n
In an earlier interview with local online media platform Wakeup.sg, he revealed that he had completed an apprenticeship at a barber shop owned by a friend. Although he was unable to commit to running a shop of his own, he shared that he wanted to use his barbering skills for good.<\/p>\n
