Kind Samaritan asks if famished man has enough to eat
In the video, the kind-hearted man can be heard asking if Fadil has enough to eat.
Like all paiseh people, he immediately said that it was enough for him.
Nonetheless, when asked if he wants to add on anything to his meal, he said yes.
The conversation goes back and forth, where Fadil repeatedly says that he had enough food, but somehow says he would like to have additional portions when asked.
Man says he’s confused
Halfway through, the man behind the video exclaims “hey! I’m confused lah is it enough or not?”. A woman can be heard in the background saying that “it’s enough but he wants to add more”.
Fadil then reveals a heart-wrenching fact — he had not eaten for 4 days.
He asks for extra rice, instead of asking for the goodies you can find at your caifan or nasi padang stalls.
