# M’sian Uses His First Salary To Treat Family To KFC, Reminds Others To Remember Their Loved Ones

**Getting your first paycheck is a milestone worth celebrating. And sometimes, sharing a meal with the people closest to you makes it all the more meaningful.**

A Malaysian man recently warmed hearts on Threads after sharing photos of a KFC meal with his family, along with a reminder to those who have just started working to remember their loved ones.

## ‘Even if it isn’t much’

In his post, Threads user [@axmn_hakim](https://www.threads.com/share/Fafvt7yBB) encouraged those receiving their first salary to treat their families to a meal, regardless of how much they could afford.

> Those of you who have just started working and received your first salary, don’t forget to treat your family to a meal. Even if it isn’t much, what matters is that you do something.”

The accompanying photo showed six family members sitting together on the floor at home, with plates of fried chicken, burgers and sides laid out between them.

The burgers had been cut into portions and arranged on floral plates, while drinks were served in mugs and glasses.

It was a simple family meal, but the familiar scene struck a chord with many who came across it.

## Small details touched netizens

One commenter was particularly moved by the care put into serving the food, from arranging the takeaway on plates to cutting up the burgers.

They said the family looked happy and harmonious, before wishing the young man a higher salary, blessings in every sen he earned, and good health for his parents.

Another netizen lightheartedly suggested that his father was probably feeling proud, even if he was keeping a straight face in the photo.

Others described the picture as priceless, saying it captured a moment that money could not buy.

## Brought back memories of sharing KFC

The post also prompted netizens to share their own memories of celebrating family milestones with KFC.

One recalled how their sister had bought KFC for the whole family with her first salary. Growing up in a family that was not well off, the meal had been a rare treat, and they remembered eating every last bit of chicken.

Another said the cut burgers reminded them of how their siblings used to share theirs so everyone would get an equal portion.

One commenter even recalled treating their family to KFC with their first paycheck back in 2004, urging the young man to cherish his parents and the memory they had made together.

Meanwhile, another summed up the sentiment by saying that the type of food did not matter. Being able to share your first paycheck with your family was already something worth celebrating.
