On 15 January, a Facebook post titled "Today I Met Angels" caught the attention of Malaysians. It started out with a confession and quickly told of an unfortunate yet typical SOS situation on the highway.
With no petrol, the driver's stalled car was in the MIDDLE lane of The Federal Highway. It was in the morning. It would've caused others and you, the inconvenience of a hair-pulling traffic jam.
Then there came a man on a motorcycle. He wanted to help. He asked her to give him money so he could buy her petrol.
At this point, most of us would have advised her NOT to believe a word he says. But she chose to trust this stranger. She even called her sister not to come with the petrol. He didn't show up...
I chose to believe him and called my sis no need to come. So I waited at the roadside and after 25 mins passed and he hasn't turned up I then started to doubt.. I was starting to feel a bit disappointed, and it was not because of the money.. u know rite?

She learned that his name was Mr Vasu. Mr Vasu made sure she was out of traffic's way and filled up petrol with a DIY funnel.
His kindness filled her with gratitude and appreciation. Not long after, a highway personnel helped to direct traffic. No words were exchanged with this man.
Suddenly a car stop at the back of my car and a driver came down. He straight put on his reflective jacket (being a highway personnel) and started help us signal the others drivers to other lane.. We did not have the chance to talk and he just left right after we done the filling up the petrol. I really wish I could at least say Thank You to him!

When the ordeal was over, she wanted to thank Mr Vasu with a token of RM50 but he refused to accept it until she 'forced' him to.
In the end, I 'forced' Mr Vasu to accept my 50 ringgit as I really want to thank him.. but he insisted did not want to take it..and I still force..
Can you feel the kindness heart..I can.They just appeared when I need them without asking for reward. They are Angels
"You tunggu saya, I mesti balik punya".The hope that he gave me when im helpless.

When Malaysians read this story, some recognised him as Mr Vasu, a driver from HELP University. Even Jeff Sadhu from BFM responded.
Most importantly, this story triggered Malaysians to share their own experiences openly on social media
Mr Vasu's kindness spurred Malaysians to share more positive stories like this, while others expressed their disappointment with the government. "This is the real Malaysia.." they said.
