A heartwarming encounter between a Malaysian man and an elderly woman has captured the hearts of netizens after the man went out of his way to help her get breakfast.
Couldn’t book a car
According to a now-viral video, the elderly woman was spotted outside an apartment complex seeking help from passersby.
She needed assistance booking a ride so she could go out for breakfast but was met with multiple rejections.
In the video, the man explained how he happened to drive past the scene and overheard her asking for help. Without hesitation, he decided to step in and give her a ride himself.
“She didn’t know how to use the app, and nobody was willing to help her. So I just brought her along,” the man shared.
Kindness repaid with gratitude
The pair had a lighthearted chat during the ride, with the woman sharing glimpses of her life.
She revealed that her children were overseas and that she often felt lonely but was deeply touched by his kindness.
To show her appreciation, she even asked for his address, hoping to send him lunch later.
The man, however, humbly said that helping others without expecting anything in return was enough for him.
He wrote in his video: “We never know when we might need help ourselves. This is what people mean when they say ‘the heavens work in mysterious ways.”
