Good samaritan Malaysians extend helping hand to elderly man in viral act of kindness

MALAYSIA: In a heartwarming viral video that has captured the hearts of many, a group of young individuals came to the aid of an elderly man who had encountered an unfortunate accident in the early hours of the morning.

TikTok sensation known as Syakirbelon4.0 recounted their encounter with the elderly gentleman as they noticed him sitting by the roadside near Istana Negara at 05.00 AM local time last week, visibly shaken and in distress.

Their compassion led them to approach the gentleman in need.

Upon engaging with him, they discovered that he appeared to be suffering from dementia, causing a slight time discrepancy in his recollection as he believed it was evening when, in reality, it was dark and early 05:00 AM. 

The man explained that he was en route to meet his child, travelling towards Istana Negara. 

The video footage captured the elderly man with bleeding elbows and soaked clothing, surrounded by a rain-soaked road.

Without hesitation, the compassionate youngsters draped a jacket over the shivering man to provide him warmth and comfort.

Despite their noble intentions to escort the gentleman to the nearest police station, he humbly declined, expressing his reluctance to burden anyone further.

Notably, his phone had run out of battery, and his motorcycle’s brakes were malfunctioning.

In the end, they made the admirable decision to transport the gentleman, affectionately referred to as “pak cik” (uncle), to the police station using their own vehicle.

To ensure his safety, one of them bravely rode the defective motorcycle, sparing the elderly man from its potential danger.
