In the heartfelt clip shared on the TikTok account @anuarnazif, the worker expressed his unwavering commitment to supporting his family, stating:
“I worked for one month, got RM4,200. This money, anytime now, will be sent to the village, I only have RM200 left. Not enough, all sent to the village. I don’t buy clothes, all (money) sent to the village.”
This revelation sparked a wave of emotional responses from viewers, with many expressing admiration for the worker’s dedication and sacrifice.
Despite the allure of personal comforts and luxuries, he chooses to prioritise the well-being of his loved ones, ensuring they have sufficient funds for a comfortable life back home.
