#NSTviral: Kindness of strangers helping blind elderly man on busy road moves netizens [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: A heart-wrenching yet inspiring video uploaded by TikTok user Zus Garage Pendang has gone viral, showing an elderly blind man walking aimlessly along a busy state road in Pendang, Kedah, alone and unsupervised. The dashcam footage captures the man, clearly lost and disoriented, struggling to navigate the road with his cane. Both of his hands were occupied — one holding a foldable chair, and the other, a large plastic bag along with his cane. Just when it seemed he was completely alone, a good Samaritan driving a black hatchback, who had passed him moments earlier, stopped his vehicle and ran to his aid. The driver got out and approached the elderly man without hesitation. At the same time, the driver of the dashcam-equipped car also stopped and got down to assist. However, seeing that help had already arrived, he parked a short distance ahead to avoid blocking traffic and later returned to join the driver in helping the man. In the video, the two men can be seen carefully assisting the elderly man off the road towards one of their cars. According to Zus Garage Pendang, based on a brief exchange with him, the man claimed he was heading to Gurun. The video has garnered almost 1.7 million views since it was posted yesterday. It has also been widely shared and has sparked emotional reactions from netizens. "Humanity knows no discrimination! "Salute to abang Merc. You stopped when others didn't. May God reward you. "Where is his family? This is not how our elders should be living." "He's blind, holding a chair and a bag with a cane and walking in the middle of the road. Where are his children? This broke my heart." "Why didn't anyone from the nearby stalls come to help him? This is sad. Guess they were all too hungry to give a damn about a stranger." One more said: "Real heroes don't wear capes – they drive Mercs and stop to help. God knows who to bless with fortune and wealth... Many users urged Malaysians to be more attentive to the elderly in their communities and not let them travel alone. The video stands as a powerful reminder that simple acts of kindness can mean the world and sometimes, save a life.
