#NSTviral: TikTok clip of rider's swing joy brings smiles [WATCH]
In a 31-second video posted by TikTok user @gunalini84, the rider is seen entering a home compound to pick up an item for delivery.
As the sender prepared the parcel, the rider noticed a swing hanging from the porch and hopped on.
"I always welcome p-hailing riders to chat while I get their items ready. This Malay guy suddenly sat on the swing, lifted his feet and started playing.
"He said the swing at his playground back home is broken. I felt so happy for him," the video caption read.
The rider was also seen tugging the swing's ropes, seemingly checking its strength.
The video has since racked up over 74,000 views, with hundreds of commenters touched by the rider's simple joy and the homeowner's warmth.
@atiqahmowari said: "You're so kind, kakak. If I saw a swing, I'd want to get on it too. Back when we were kids, we really made the most of playing on swings."
L21i1i said: "Thank you so much for your kindness. My husband also works as a courier driver, sometimes he doesn't even have time to eat. When a customer offers him just a drink, he's already so grateful, especially in this hot weather."
Hanis KJ said: "Inner child healed. Llet him enjoy himself. It is exhausting delivering food and parcels everywhere. May his livelihood continue to grow."
San Thi360 said: "No matter how grown up we are, our childish side still hides within us.
"Whenever I pass by Marrybrown, the first thing I check is whether the swing is empty. If it is, I quickly grab the spot, order something simple and enjoy the swing."

(Video) Jamal Abdillah Sings 'Happy Birthday' To Tun Mahathir For His 100th Birthday
We've all fantasised about our favourite singers singing, or at least wishing us, happy birthday. Some lucky fans even get to experience this during concerts or meet-and-greet events. While such moments are fairly common between fans and idols, witnessing one legend singing Happy Birthday to another is certainly a rare occasion. In case you didn't know, former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir will be celebrating his 100th birthday tomorrow (Thursday, 10th July), and who better to sing him a happy birthday than Malaysian pop legend Datuk Jamal Abdillah? Check out this interaction: Earlier this week, a media officer named Adam Mohd Muhayeddin shared a video on his TikTok channel showing Datuk Jamal Abdillah singing Happy Birthday to Tun Dr Mahathir, ahead of the former prime minister's upcoming 100th birthday. The moment appears to have taken place inside a store or museum exhibition, based on the interior setting. After finishing the song, the artist kissed Tun Mahathir's hand as a sign of respect. The political figure asked the music icon his age, to which he replied that he was 66. The soon-to-be 100-year-old then praised the singer for his enduring vocal abilities, saying, '66 years old and you've still got the voice.' Datuk Jamal was then heard offering his well wishes to Malaysia's fourth and seventh prime minister ahead of his milestone birthday. The video has since gone viral, garnering over 881,000 views. Fans have flooded the comments section with early birthday wishes for Tun Mahathir, expressing hopes for his continued good health, long life, and prosperity. Turning 100 is a huge milestone, but so far, there's no information on how the former prime minister plans to celebrate it. One thing's for sure: he'll be surrounded by loved ones to celebrate his day together. Watch the viral clip below: Source: TikTok

#SHOWBIZ: Henry Golding chooses Tuah for his character name in 'The Old Guard 2'
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia-born Hollywood actor Henry Golding has expressed his pride that the legendary Malay folk tale of Hang Tuah found its way into the film The Old Guard 2, now streaming on Netflix. Golding, 38, revealed in a recent interview that director Victoria Mahoney readily accepted his suggestion to name his character 'Tuah'. "She had several other name suggestions and asked for my opinion. The name Tuah was the one that stood out the most. In Malaysian folklore, there's a story about a local warrior named Hang Tuah," he explained. Featured Videos "I think it makes more sense with the element of eternal life and travelling the world. In Malaysia, he is one of the greatest heroes of local folklore. I believe the name is appropriate," Golding added. The actor also wove other local cultural elements into the film, such as the inclusion of a kris. "The kris is the weapon typically used by local warriors in silat, a self-defence art practised in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. "I'm happy that Victoria was so open to working on that. It also gave it a more personal element. It was exciting to be able to bring a piece of who I am to the character," he said. Aside from Golding, The Old Guard 2 also features a stellar cast including Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Kiki Layne, Veronica Ngo, Matthias Schoenaerts, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Marwan Kenzari, and Luca Marinelli.
