A heartwarming video recently went viral on TikTok (@user5788163365549), capturing a deeply emotional farewell moment between a group of petrol station staff and their beloved colleague.
The video, shared by a woman named Jannah, shows her and several other staff members from the Petron Hulu Langat petrol station coming together to celebrate the departure of a longtime worker known as Sojib. After over a decade of dedicated service, Sojib, originally from Bangladesh, is returning to his home country due to health concerns.
In the video, the staff can be seen organizing a small farewell party for Sojib. The celebration included a generous spread of food, a cake, and warm smiles all around, creating a festive atmosphere that resembled a birthday celebration more than a simple goodbye.
However, what truly touched viewers was the emotional reaction from Sojib himself. Overwhelmed by the gesture, he was seen wiping away tears as his colleagues honoured him. His face expressed deep gratitude and a sense of loss, as he remained mostly speechless throughout the event.
According to Jannah, Sojib has been working at the petrol station for more than 10 years. Unfortunately, due to signs of heart-related health issues, he has made the difficult decision to return to Bangladesh for further treatment.
"He (Sojib) showed signs of heart problems, so he wants to go back for further treatment," Jannah explained. She also took a moment to share her prayers, wishing for all of Sojib's matters back home to go smoothly.
In another touching moment shared by Jannah, it was revealed that before leaving Malaysia, Sojib made a final visit to his colleagues at the petrol station. This farewell gesture reflected the strong bonds he had formed with his teammates over the years.

"Before heading to KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport), he visited us one last time. Wishing him a safe journey, it's so sad," wrote Jannah in her caption.
Given his long service and the friendships he built, it's no surprise that parting ways was an emotional moment not only for Sojib but also for the entire team.
The comments section of the video was quickly filled with supportive messages from netizens. Many were moved by the heartfelt farewell and expressed their hopes for Sojib's recovery and well-being. Some even praised the Petron Hulu Langat team for giving him such a memorable send-off, which will surely remain a cherished memory for Sojib after his years of working in Malaysia.
This touching story reminds us of the bonds that can be formed in the workplace and the lasting impact simple acts of kindness can leave on someone's life.
