In a heartwarming display of kindness, a durian seller recently went viral on social media after choosing compassion over profit.
A group of young boys showed up at his stall with only RM15 in hand, clutching coins they had saved up in their tabung (piggy bank). Their simple wish? To enjoy some durian, a beloved Malaysian treat often seen as a luxury for many.
With RM15, they might have only been able to afford the more basic kampung durian. But instead of turning them away or offering a lesser variety, the seller did something truly unexpected.
He handed them a generous portion of Musang King, the most premium and expensive durian variety, and refused to take a single cent from them.
The moment, which was shared on social media, quickly tugged at the hearts of many Malaysians. Viewers praised the seller not only for his generosity, but for understanding the innocence and joy behind the boys small but meaningful gesture.
In a world where kindness can feel rare, this durian seller reminded us all that humanity still shines through in the simplest acts. If you happen to recognize this kind-hearted abang durian, be sure to show him some support; people like him truly make the world a better, warmer place.
