Undeterred, the boy politely asked if he could get a RM10 discount and even offered to have the amount simply deducted. The owner, moved by the boy's honesty and effort, asked him more about his story and discovered how patiently the boy had saved up for the shoes. Deeply touched, he made a decision on the spot — the shoes would be free. The boy was visibly stunned. 'Really?' he asked, eyes wide in disbelief. Still hesitant, he added, 'It's ok abang, just discount RM10 can already.' But the store owner insisted, not only giving the shoes for free but also returning the full amount the boy had tried to pay. 'This little bro is amazing,' the owner wrote in the video's caption. 'Saving up your own money just to get something you really want? That's rare.' The heartwarming video has since captured the hearts of netizens, who praised both the boy for his values and the owner for his act of generosity. One user called Naqui Boboyot commented: 'Even after being given the shoes for free, he still asked for the RM10 discount — such a good kid. May this abang (owner) always be blessed with abundance.' 'This kid was clearly raised well by his parents... The most touching part was when the abang (store owner) said he wanted to give the shoes for free, and the boy replied, 'It's okay, abang, I just want a RM10 discount,'' wrote.

M'sian calls out parents for refusing to save for her education
'Why do the children have to suffer?' - M'sian calls out parents for refusing to save for her education A young Malaysian has taken to X to anonymously unleash her fury over her parents' 'terribly bad' financial decisions, specifically their refusal to save for their children's education. In a raw and emotional post, the girl revealed the stark reality: despite earning salaries 'in the tens of thousands,' her parents have made a conscious choice to have 'no savings at all for the children's education.' The reason behind this decision, according to the frustrated youth, is a deeply ingrained generational pattern. The parents, mirroring their own upbringing, have opted not to fund their children's schooling. 'The reason: because their parents didn't do it that way before. ALSO READ: Middle-class dad earning RM10k feels financial strain 'I'm hurt by my own parents who were obviously struggling, why do the children have to suffer too?' This candid and heartbreaking post quickly gained traction, with many netizens coming to the parents' defense. One user, @notUrAvarageSir, retorted, 'Want to say it's their responsibility? Want to say who asked you to be born? Want to say you didn't even ask to be born? Wrong, no, you have to remember, there are small children who are abused, parents who sell their own children, children who are abused. It's good that your parents gave you a place to shelter and gave you food, you should be grateful, don't be ignorant.' Adding to the criticism, @eltheroo suggested the teen's lifestyle might be a contributing factor: 'Feels like you're the one who gobbled up all their money, right? Latest iPhone, eating at T20-level buka puasa buffets, own car (I assume). Suddenly want to bring it up. Here, just go to a government university like the others, it's not like you'll die. Or even community college is cheap, your monthly allowance can cover it.' Another netizen echoed the sentiment of self-reliance, commenting, 'Why don't you, the anonymous one, try working and finding money yourself? Only then will you know how difficult it is to earn a living to feed you from small until you're grown up.'

Surau shelters Indian mum & baby, netizens praise kindness
A young Malaysian woman seeking refuge with her baby at a surau in Alor Setar, Kedah, touched the hearts of many after her quiet plea for help was met with compassion and swift support. The woman, believed to be in her early 20s, was first spotted wandering near the surau by committee member Shamsul Anuar Aziz. ALSO READ: 'Proud to be M'sian': Kind strangers help blind 'pak cik' cross busy road, netizens moved to tears Noticing her anxious demeanor, Shamsul approached her, only to hear her emotional request: 'I'm scared... please don't chase me away.' Moved by her distress, Shamsul assured her of his intentions and offered her shelter. 'After prayers, I saw her loitering outside. Her facial expressions made it obvious that she was battling a problem,' he said. Later, Shamsul returned with three other surau members to locate her. They found her hiding behind a car in a dark corner. Once she felt safe, the woman revealed that she was facing financial and family hardships. Her husband is currently serving a prison sentence for an undisclosed offence, and she had no money, having just fled a friend's house where she felt unsafe. In a heartbreaking detail, she said her baby was wrapped in a yellow towel because she couldn't afford diapers. Touched by her plight, the surau members immediately sprang into action. They bought diapers, baby formula, and food. Upon learning that she had a brother in Penang, Shamsul purchased an ETS train ticket for her and even accompanied her to the station to ensure she boarded safely. 'We're just glad to be helping,' Shamsul said. Reflecting on the experience, he told Harian Metro that it was his first time handling such a situation, but it was a lesson in empathy and shared humanity. Before departing to Penang, the woman repeatedly thanked them. 'She thanked us many times, and I told her to pray for our health and sustenance. 'For me, this was a test for myself and the congregation. We wish her the very best,' he said. A clip of the incident, shared by Shamsul on TikTok, has since drawn praise for the kindness shown, reinforcing the belief that compassion transcends boundaries. One user called Prema@Hema8103 commented: 'I don't know what to say... thank you so much for being willing to help regardless of race or religion. I hope this unity between us continues.' 'Where in Penang did she get off the ETS, bro? Who took her to her brother's house? If she got off at Permatang Rawa, I could've sent her to her brother's place—because the ETS station is just behind my house in Permatang Rawa,' Muhamad Riszuan kindly offered.
