But as she approached, she noticed something even more concerning — a child sleeping inside the vehicle on makeshift seats made from plastic chairs, while two other children struggled to push the car forward.
Curious and worried, she asked the mother what had happened. The response was sobering.
'I asked what happened, and she said she had already filled RM2 of petrol but the car still stalled,' she explained.
Despite their best efforts, including trying to jump-start the vehicle, nothing worked. The woman added, 'She said she had no more money and only managed to scrape together RM2 for petrol.'
Seeing the family's exhaustion and the children's determination, the driver couldn't walk away. She took the mother to the nearest petrol station, bought extra fuel in a container, and returned to refuel the car.
Noticing that the children looked both hungry and tired, she also picked up some snacks for them.
With the tank refilled, the car finally roared back to life, allowing the grateful family to continue their journey home safely.
The TikTok video has since gone viral, with Malaysians outpouring with support and appreciation.
One user called Pueri Aurora offered: 'If you don't mind, if anyone knows the address of the Kancil's owner, please share it with me. I'd like to visit her personally to offer some help.'
'I pray that the traffic lights are always green for you... that your journey is always smooth... that your wallet is always full... thank you, sis, for being a good person... seeing the little child sleeping really made me emotional,' Ijam Mucc commented.
'My heart broke seeing those little kids out so late at night. Ahh, I feel like crying. Thank you, sister and brother, for helping. May you both be blessed with abundant sustenance,' puan Ainie wrote.

Maybank Islamic, Perodua offer 'flexible' vehicle ownership plan for Malaysians
KUALA LUMPUR: Maybank Islamic Bhd and Perodua have jointly introduced Malaysia's first Shariah-compliant agility financing plan, offering customers greater flexibility and accessibility in vehicle ownership. The Perodua Flexiplan, powered by Maybank Islamic myimpact Drive Financing-i, is the first collaboration of its kind for both companies. It features a Murabahah vehicle term financing arrangement, resulting in lower monthly payments over an initial five-year term. Under the scheme, customers can choose to trade in their Perodua vehicle at year five for a new model. Perodua is offering a buy-back price competitive with market value or opt to keep their existing vehicle under a revised payment plan for up to four more years. Perodua president and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said the plan is available for four models: Myvi, Axia (excluding the Axia E), Ativa and Aruz. The collaboration is aimed at delivering a win-win solution for all parties involved "Today, both Perodua and Maybank Islamic broke new ground as we join forces to offer the best possible financing package which ensures everybody wins; Perodua, Maybank Islamic and especially, our valued customers," he said. "We believe that with the backing of Malaysia's biggest bank combined with the trust that we have earned from Malaysians, the Perodua Flexiplan will be well accepted." Maybank group CEO of community and financial services Syed Ahmad Taufik Albar said the financing plan reflects the bank's values-based approach to customer service. "Across the Maybank Group, we have always been committed to empowering our customers with flexible, transparent, inclusive, and sustainable financial solutions, and Maybank Islamic myimpact Drive Financing-i is a reflection of that," he said. The innovative approach to all Malaysians alongside Perodua, addresses the preferences of modern car buyers and empowers them with flexible ownership choices, he added. The plan integrates other Shariah-compliant offerings such as Perodua Total Protect Plus comprehensive takaful underwritten by Etiqa, which includes RM5,000 special peril coverage, and Credit Reducing Term Takaful for added protection. Both companies said the initiative not only enhances car ownership accessibility but also creates a convenient structure for customers to adapt their vehicle choices to different life stages, setting a new benchmark in Malaysia's automotive financing landscape.
