The gravity of the coronavirus crisis has revealed an ugly side of human nature, with people unnecessarily stockpiling groceries and medical supplies.
However, the kindness of some individuals has also shone through. For example, this man from Malaysia took it upon himself to clean an entire playground just so that kids could play safely.
Here’s the translated post:
“Peace be upon you…
Today many people laughed at me because I washed the playground around the Bukit Jelutong U8 area.
Do you know why I washed the children’s playground?
The coronavirus has attacked thousands of people in so many countries including ours and taken hundreds of lives. In order to prevent our children from being infected by the coronavirus, I washed the playground.
I became a volunteer with the intention to help the community in the Bukit Jelutong area so we should not lower our guard against the coronavirus.”
Mr Mustaqim, the man behind the post, said that he wanted to be a volunteer to help his community.
To protect the children in his area, he personally washed the playground by hand.
This was no easy feat, considering that the playground is hard to navigate for an adult.
Armed with only what looks like a rag, he wiped down every surface with the soapy water.
Many netizens were very touched by Mr Mustaqim’s kind gesture. Some even wondered how people can laugh at someone who’s going the extra mile to help others.
