Not everyone has access to technology or the means to promote themselves, but one kind man has shown that we should help others whenever we can

Recently, Jimmy Goh shared a post in a Facebook group about a Malaysian uncle who works as a cobbler in Ampang.

Goh explained that while he was on his way to the bank, this uncle politely approached him, saying, "Boss, boss".

The uncle then asked if Goh had Facebook and if he could help promote his cobbler business.

"He told me he had just started repairing and mending shoes, and changing soles, and hoped I could help spread the word," Goh shared.

Moved by the man's situation, Goh quietly snapped some photos and posted them on Facebook

"It was tough watching him wait patiently for customers, hoping just one person would come by," Goh shared, expressing hope that his small gesture will make a difference for the uncle.

If you need your shoes repaired, you can visit the uncle in front of Maybank at:
