A video emerged online showing a frail, hunched back elderly man still working hard and making food deliveries for GrabFood in Malaysia despite his physical condition.
The video was shared on TikTok by @hazwanhfiz, and it was taken at the Hartamas Shopping Centre in Kuala Lumpur.
Despite his frail physical condition and old age, the elderly man is still working hard without complaining, and only takes breaks to pray.
The elderly man was seen at the start of the video picking up his order from the counter of a GrabFood collection point.
Holding on to his GrabFood delivery bag, the elderly man walks slowly towards the netizen, who asked the uncle if he was alright, and the elderly man then said that he was sending an order to a nearby customer.
The netizen then joked with the elderly man and asked him why was he not resting during the fasting month, and the elderly man then told him that he only takes rests when he is praying, before sending his regards to the young man and moving along to send his order.
The netizen shared that he was envious of the elderly man’s willpower and tenacity, with the video garnering commendations and sympathy from netizens.
Another netizen who also works as a delivery rider, apologised for always complaining whenever he receives an order where he has to travel far, comparing his situation to the elderly man and being ashamed of himself.
They pointed out how they should learn from the elderly man and work without complaining, taking a leaf out of his willpower and determination.
Others shared how they should be grateful to be fortunate, because there are always other people who are in worse situations than them.
Other netizens expressed their well wishes to the elderly man while some wanted to start a donation drive for him so that he can enjoy the upcoming Hari Raya festivities instead of slogging it out.
@hazwanhfiz Kesian pada masa yang sama cemburu dengan semangat pakcik Grabfood ni. Dalam bongkok² dia pun satu KL dia pusing cari rezeki bulan puasa ni.. Moga dipermudah segala urusan beliau. Yang biasa duduk di Mont Kiara & Sri Hartamas mesti biasa jumpa pakcik 'legend' ni. #Grabfood #MontKiara #SriHartamas ♬ original sound – Jayhadee®️
