He is not violent
From high above the culvert, the 59-year-old's lone and emaciated figure can be seen lounging on an old cardboard.
His plight was brought forth by a concerned resident of the area where Malcolm stays named Alfred ‘Macca’ Thompson.
“Bossy, look over di gully there, that is a sad story. It is a human being that you are looking at, and him usually work at a bank. Now, rain wet him and sun burn him,” said Macca.
Those who know him attest that he is not violent neither does he give people problems as long as he gets some little money for his food.
Malcolm used to drive a nice car
According to Jean Taylor, one of the residents who remember him, Malcolm not only used to drive a nice car to and from work, but also helped make the community proud.
“I remember him very well, as we were neighbours in Grateful Hill,” Taylor recollected.
Details indicate that the former banker, who is an alumnus of Oberlin High School, is a father of three children but has no recollection of their whereabouts.
