Subang Jaya ADUN Michelle Ng Mei Sze shared in a Facebook post yesterday, 30 November, that the restaurant dealer from Sri Melur USJ 17 noticed that the police were too busy and did not have time to eat.

"So, in the middle of the night he prepared food and sent it to them [police]," she wrote.

The Subang Jaya ADUN added that the man also sponsored breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the cops yesterday

"This is our culture. This is Malaysia," wrote Ng, ending her post by revealing that Sri Melur has often donated food to those in need.

A photo showing one of the staff carrying a bag of the food while standing next to a police car has since gone viral with over 3,000 shares on Facebook.

Following the post, Malaysians have been applauding the mamak for looking out for their fellow countrymen
