During investigations, authorities checked his phone and found his last message to his mother.
“I am almost done with my work,” the message allegedly said. “I’m bringing home your favourite dish.”
The Threads user did not reveal what dish he was carrying.
Worked long hours to support mother needing kidney treatment
The post painted a picture of a hardworking son who was trying to support his ill mother.
The Threads user alleged that the rider had been working day and night to pay for his mother’s kidney disease treatment, often surviving on only three hours of sleep each night.
The pair reportedly lived in a low-cost public housing (also known as a PPR flat).
Despite the rider’s financial struggles, he still found time to contribute RM10 (S$3) weekly to the local mosque, a small act of generosity he never missed.
According to the post, although devastated, the rider’s mother expressed pride in her son’s kindness and dedication.
“We didn’t get to have the meal together, but I was proud of what he was doing,” she reportedly said.
