Masfud was seen striking up a friendly chat with the uncle before politely asking if he could take his picture. Curious about the driver's day, he asked how the man was doing, what route his bus took, and what time he started work.

The uncle kindly responded that he was driving to Bukit Bintang and had started his shift as early as 7 a.m., continuing until 10 p.m. Despite the long hours, the man remained warm and welcoming, answering every question with a gentle smile.

When asked where he lived, the bus driver said he resided in the Datuk Keramat area. "Oh, just Datuk Keramat. I'm a photographer, walking around taking random pictures. Can I take a picture of you, uncle?" Masfud asked.

He continued, "A smiling photo, who knows, maybe your children will see it? Are your children around here?" to which the uncle replied, "Yes."

"Alright, I'll take one smiling photo, okay, uncle?" Masfud said cheerfully.

The bus driver beamed with joy as his photo was taken, clearly touched by the gesture. "This bus uncle still stays cheerful even though he works from morning till night," Masfud captioned.

Before parting, Masfud offered a heartfelt message, telling the uncle to take care and wishing him good health.

The video quickly gained attention online, with one commenter believed to be the bus driver's child thanking Masfud for capturing and sharing the video.

Others were deeply moved by the man's dedication to his job despite his age, with many saying it reminded them of their own fathers. Some even shared that the encounter inspired them to work harder and appreciate the opportunities they have while still young.

In a world where kind, simple gestures often go unnoticed, this sweet exchange serves as a reminder that a small act of connection can leave a lasting impact.
