As we age, our bodies become frailer and are prone to injuries if we aren’t careful. In the event of an unfortunate incident, it would help if there were others willing to lend a helping hand.
On 16 Jul morning, an elderly man fell outside a coffee shop at Little India. Seeing this, a kind passer-by went up to him and helped him up onto a chair.
He even took the time to wake the elderly man and ensure he was OK.
According to STOMP, the elderly man fell outside a coffee shop in the Tekka area on 16 Jul morning.
Many were walking by at the time and at first, no one stopped to help.
A man then asked the coffee shop staff to lend a helping hand but they simply shrugged it off, saying he was probably just drunk.
Thankfully, a passer-by soon approached the elderly man and helped him up.
As he did this, many others can be seen in the background watching them.
The kind passer-by then pulled out a chair for the elderly man.
He then leaned forward to talk to the man, trying to make sure he was all right.
In a video shared by STOMP, the passer-by could be seen patiently listening to the frail elderly man speak.
At one point in the conversation, the elderly man reached out and gently touched the passer-by’s knee to show his gratitude.
Watching their interactions, the man shared with STOMP that he was touched and thought the act of kindness was a very sweet one.
Kudos to the kind-hearted passer-by for going out of his way to help the elderly man. We’re sure he was immensely grateful for it.
It is disheartening to hear that many had apparently turned a blind eye to the elderly man earlier.
Hopefully, the passer-by’s actions would inspire more acts of kindness in our society, so that they may step up to offer help to those in need.
