Abang Usop', who was offered RM3,000, tells single father his son needs it.
The mechanic, known only as “Abang Usop”, declined the RM3,000 that Dicky Yau gave him today, after Yau received more than RM5,000 in public donations.
People donated money to Yau after a TikTok video about the mechanic’s kindness, and Yau having only a balance of RM176 in his Touch ‘n Go e-wallet, went viral.
Yau, a single father, had promised on Saturday to give half of the public donations he received to “Abang Usop”, so that he could help others in need.
However, the mechanic had other plans.
“I am returning the cash to you,” he told a visibly surprised Yau, who tried his best to reject the money that was placed in his hands.
“You have a child who is going to school. I am helping you,” he said in a new TikTok video.
Yau could be seen tearing up, and the two men embraced.
In the original TikTok video, “Abang Usop”, who goes by @minyakhitamjalanan, said he was called at about 12.30am to fix a motorcycle after its chain snapped and the front sprocket went missing.
He quoted a total fee of RM145, comprising RM25 for the front sprocket, RM80 for the chain and RM40 for labour.
After completing the repair, he noticed that Yau had a remaining balance of RM176 in his e-wallet and asked if he would still have money for food after paying him.
Yau appeared hesitant but repeatedly insisted on paying the full amount. However, the mechanic told him he would not have to pay. Overcome with emotion, Yau embraced him.
Netizens flooded the comments section with praise, hailing the mechanic’s empathy and generosity. The video garnered more than 600,000 likes and over 18,000 comments. - FMT
