Eager to make sure the boy gets there safely, the kindhearted man ended up giving him a ride to school.

In a Facebook post today (1 Feb), the OP called Milo recounted the unusual encounter.
Apparently doing a night shift, Milo had just finished work in the morning when a little boy approached him.
Dressed in a primary school uniform – which shows that he’s likely a student at Waterway Primary School – the young one told Milo he had lost his way.
Given the morning rush hour, the man decided to take the boy to school with his motorcycle.

According to Milo, the boy arrived at his school safe and sound.
Apart from recounting the heartwarming encounter, he also cautioned parents against similar incidents.

One netizen aptly pointed out that the boy was lucky to have asked a kind person like Milo. He deserves many “thumbs ups” for his kindness.
Another offered his praise by claiming the man deserves all the Milo – our favourite drink with the same name – for his wholesome gesture.
Spread kindness & be like Milo
Thanks to Milo, the primary school kiddo got to school safe and sound.
It’s little things like this, and kind people like Milo, that make Singapore a kinder, safer place for everyone.
