GRATITUDE goes a long way towards making the world go round. Although employees are paid for their work, it is also their contributions which makes the existence of a corporation or a business entity possible.
Recently, a viral video warmed the hearts of the online community, where an employer could be seen sending off his foreign staff members at the airport with affection.
According to netizen @mynewshub who made the video post, these Bangladeshi workers had been working on the employer's farm for the past 18 years.
Safe to say, the video has become some sort of promotional material for Bangladeshi workers with the overwhelming praises in the comment section.
'18 tahun pekerja Bangladesh berkhidmat setia bersama menjaga kebun. Tanpa mereka, kebun takkan sampai ke tahap ini. Hari ini tiba masa berpisah, mereka terpaksa pulang ke tanah air. Terima kasih atas segala jasa, takkan pernahlupa.' pic.twitter.com/pJLEaqEAzy

Netizen @DrKhairulAnwar claimed that among the many foreigners, tourists or workers, the Bangladeshis are the best.
@hoelywtr chipped in to say that those from Bangladesh and Pakistan usually do not find trouble. Even if there are trouble makers, they are rare. 'The problematic ones are the Indonesians and Rohingyas, but not all,' he added.
Another netizen said the good ones are very good. He claimed these were the ones usually found in the prayer hall and mosques.
'This is bittersweet. In their sadness, they must be excited to return to their country and meet their family members,' he said.
But of course there are always the critics. Netizen @readergo1 pointed out that the employer can then take the young Malays instead to work as they are likely able to last longer than 20 years.
However, @muthapailek claimed the Bangladeshi staff are 'tip top' while the Malays like 'vape sekejap,' also known as break time for vaping.
One netizen further reminisced about a time when he had to carry a delivery machine which was about 200kg up the stairs to the first floor.
Help came in the form of the Bangladeshi workers nearby the construction site, who did not ask for any form of payment after help was rendered.
Also, @tqfrthmmr said the people were being too racist towards Bangladesh. Apparently he sent his car to a car wash and several moments later, returned to find a RM50 bill on the chair.
@tqfrthmmr said it was under the chair the whole time and he never noticed it. The car wash worker could gave stolen it but placed the money on the chair instead.
Perhaps, haters of foreign workers can take some time to watch this video and reflect on their current stance regarding immigration.
The conclusion to this viral video is a sweet one too, with @azamkl pointing out that loyalty is not born from skin colour or the language spoken, but the heart which chooses to be together. —May 1, 2025
