A heartwarming scene shared on social media has captured the attention of many Malaysians, after a daughter posted a touching moment of her elderly parents enjoying a meal together at a restaurant.
In the post on Threads, a woman named Shaida uploaded a short clip showing her 92-year-old father carefully placing dishes onto her 81-year-old mother's plate. The simple yet meaningful act touched many who saw it, with Shaida describing it as a gesture filled with love and special care.
"My dad is 92, my mom is 81. My dad still puts food on my mom's plate. Are there still any gentlemen like this?" she wrote, sparking an outpouring of admiration from netizens.
As the post gained traction, many began asking how her father managed to stay so healthy and active at his age. Responding to the questions, Shaida shared several habits that she believed contributed to his good health.
"Some asked for my dad's health tips; he's 92 years old, still able to walk without a cane, go to the shop," she said.
According to her, her father maintains a simple yet consistent lifestyle: eating small portions on schedule, walking regularly to nearby shops, doing house chores, and reading often.
"He has always liked solving problems and being the handyman at home. He only smoked when he was young, but quit a long time ago," she added.
Shaida also expressed her gratitude to those who prayed for her parents' well-being.
"Thank you to everyone who prayed for my parents. Sorry if I couldn't reply to some. I'm also happy that many shared that their husbands are like that too," she wrote.
The post has since warmed countless hearts, serving as a reminder that love, care, and kindness can remain strong even in old age and that thoughtful gestures, no matter how small, can speak volumes.
