With Chinese New Year just days away, everyone’s getting excited to reuniting with family and friends, digging into sumptuous food and of course, getting angpaos (red packets) from the grown-ups.
A man got a little ahead of himself and ended up damaging two perfect RM50 notes while opening an angpao which was given to him.
Man accidentally tears RM50 notes while opening angpao
In a hilarious 21-second video shared on TikTok by @irfannudin350, it showed him showing an angpao he had received from another person.
However, his joy at receiving an angpao quickly turned into disbelief when he realised that he had torn off a section of two fresh RM50 notes while opening the angpao, thus rendering the notes useless.
Despite the epic blunder, the OP couldn’t help but to double over with laughter in the background as he wondered over what to do with the ruined Ringgit notes.
‘Must have been too excited’
The clip has since garnered over 400,000 views at the time of writing and netizens couldn’t help but be amused by how the RM50 notes were damaged.
Many joked that the OP must have gotten too excited and tore open the angpao too roughly, thus tearing the RM50 notes in the process as well.
Some suggested to the OP to head to the nearest bank to exchange the damaged RM50 notes for new ones.

So the next time you get an angpao, be sure to open it carefully and slowly or else the money can’t be used anymore!
