Instead of disposing a wrong order, GrabFood driver donates food to 76-year-old uncle

One GrabFood driver received an order for food that was keyed to the wrong address, so instead of disposing the food, he decided to give it to a 76-year-old uncle.

The deed was uploaded by Nur Mamat on the GrabFood Delivery Rider Singapore’s Facebook group on the wee hours of Saturday morning.

 

He said that the customer who had ordered some food from McDonalds via the GrabFood app keyed in the wrong address and that the customer was about 15 kilometers away from his location.

After calling Grab to seek clarification, he was told to dispose of the food.

He then met an uncle in the Serangoon Central area who he claims is 76 years old and decided to give the food to the uncle instead.

The uncle appeared to be touched by the deed, with him saying: “I don’t dare to buy this expensive food.”

“Uncle was so happy… the words he said touches (sic) my heart deep inside,” he said.  “Looking at him happily eating just make (sic) my day.”

 

 

Netizens were quick to praise him for the deed, with Eric Cheong commented on the post with “Good man good heart” and Facebook user Gunner Tyler Euphoria chiming in, saying: “Faith in humanity restored”.

Despite getting some criticism for posting his own good deed online, Facebook user Nor Isk backed him up: “Never mind la if you think the guy wants to ‘how lian’ (show off) or what, but bottom line is we should take this as a reminder that we shouldn’t take for granted our daily provisions.”

“We should try to help whenever and wherever we can to those who need them, no matter how minimal/small we think our deed is.”
