An old uncle went out to get a haircut but he forgot his way home, seeking help from commuters on board the MRT.
A kind stranger by the name of Jun Jie then helped the old man to book a Grab ride home and even gave him money to pay for the Grab fare.
The old man forgot how to go home but apparently remembered his son’s name and phone number, allowing the good samaritan to give the old man’s son, Derick Khoo, a call.
Khoo had initially thought it was a scam call, so he called home and confirmed with his mother that his dad was really out of the house.
The old man and the stranger were on the MRT at the time, Jun Jie then told Khoo that he will be booking a Grab ride for the old man to go home, and then he passed $20 to the old man to pay the fare.
Khoo then asked his mom to wait at the void deck for his dad.
Derick then shared the encounter on Facebook to thank the kind hearted gentleman who helped his dad home.
Khoo wrote that he was “Really 感恩 (grateful)”.
Khoo then added:
“Thankful to this kind man for helping my dad even though we don’t know each other.”
He then revealed that he reimbursed Jun Jie for the Grab fare, topping up a little more with sincere appreciation.
