A man from Penang, Malaysia recently went viral for asking RM30 (S$8.50) from his ex-girlfriend’s father after their breakup.
According to China Press, a video of their WhatsApp conversation was shared by a netizen on Facebook.
The man claimed the money was for food he had bought for the father while dating his daughter.
In response, the father called him “the cheapest” man he had ever encountered.
In the video, the man first greeted her ex-girlfriend’s father and claimed he had been very good to his daughter before they broke up, Oriental Daily reported. He added that he even packed fried rice for the father when he was hungry.
Displeased with the way his ex-girlfriend’s father had treated him a few days ago, however, he felt compelled to get his money back.
In the voice message, the man said:
“I bought two packs of fried rice and one pack of porridge before, and the price was about 28 ringgit. However, you [the father] drank all day long. I believe you have money, so you can round up the whole number and pass me the 30 ringgit through one touch. Send it back to me via e-wallet.”
When the father did not respond, he suggested that the father could transfer the money to his ex-girlfriend and he will drive to her workplace to collect the money, or he could contact his ex-girlfriend to resolve the matter.
Several hours later, his ex-girlfriend’s father replied via voice message, saying that his daughter’s RM20 was still in the man’s car and he could take the money from the car if he wanted.
“I have seen so many boys, and you are the cheapest,” the father added, Oriental Daily wrote.
Additionally, the father said it was fortunate he found this out early as it would be embarrassing for his daughter to be with such a man.
Many netizens later criticised the man’s behaviour, pointing out that it was very ungentlemanly of him to demand the sum back after the breakup.
