Woman Holds Umbrella For Passengers Alighting Bus In Toa Payoh, Netizens Shower Praise

Woman Shelters Passengers From Rain With Umbrella After Alighting Bus In Toa Payoh

Whenever it rains, commuters and pedestrians without umbrellas will have to rely on covered walkways to stay dry.

Even though bus stops offer shelter too, there is a gap between the vehicle and roof where rainwater will still splatter upon you.

Recognising this issue during the rainy weather yesterday (23 Jan), a kind woman decided to hold out her umbrella for all passengers getting off a bus in Toa Payoh.

A passenger was particularly touched by the gesture, and decided to record the heartwarming scene.

Seeing how the woman held her umbrella out for everyone when she wasn’t obliged to do so, it simply restored the OP’s faith in humanity.

The OP also left some food for thought before ending his caption — “when was the last time we [did something] good [for] others?”

A woman with a big umbrella & an even bigger heart

Getting slightly drenched by the rain can be unpleasant, especially for elderly folk who may end up catching a cold if they don’t keep warm.

Kudos to this woman who has a big umbrella to share with others, and an even bigger heart.
