SINGAPORE: Singaporeans took to an online forum on Sunday to share random acts of kindness they have received from strangers.
From letting someone go ahead in a queue at the grocery to sharing an umbrella with a random pedestrian, the experiences shared in the comments section of the post are sure to restore people’s faith in humanity.
The writer shared a heartwarming interaction he witnessed in a fast-food restaurant. “There was a foreign couple who were confused about the shaker fry bags…they were struggling with it,” he said. “Seated next to them was a Singaporean family. The dad saw it and offered to help them, he even started shaking his fries bag first so the couple didn’t feel embarrassed or awkward to do it. It was a small act of kindness but I think it saved the couple from feeling really awkward and out of place.
“I was having lunch alone in the Kopitiam when some aunty suddenly sat at my table, at the seat directly opposite me,” shared one. “My initial reaction was to wonder why she would do so when there were so many empty tables around and she looked like the fierce ‘entitled Karen’ sort. Then she told me that she was sitting at another table but moved when she saw an older man trying to stare up my skirt because I wasn’t crossing my legs. She sat there to block his view and told me to be careful.
