#NSTviral: TikTok clip of rider's swing joy brings smiles [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: A p-hailing rider found a moment of joy on a porch swing and brought thousands along for the ride on TikTok. 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."
