Malaysian YouTuber Bellestrelle bought a car for a senior Grab delivery driver with a hunched back.

Still working

This was after a TikTok video posted on Apr. 14 showed the elderly Grab delivery driver with a pronounced hunchback doing a pick-up.

His condition did not deter him from working.

@hazwanhfiz Kesian pada masa yang sama cemburu dengan semangat pakcik Grabfood ni. Dalam bongkok² dia pun satu KL dia pusing cari rezeki bulan puasa ni.. Moga dipermudah segala urusan beliau. Yang biasa duduk di Mont Kiara & Sri Hartamas mesti biasa jumpa pakcik 'legend' ni. #Grabfood #MontKiara #SriHartamas ♬ original sound - Jayhadee®️

A subsequent conversation with him revealed that the 68-year-old man was making deliveries in the local area throughout the Ramadan period, stopping only to break fast.

His story gained a large amount of sympathy, with many commenter saying they recognised him and wished him well.

Greater kereta

But a social media personality who learned about the man's story has taken things to the next level by buying him a car for Hari Raya.

In an Instagram post dated Apr. 17, Bellestrelle showed herself getting out of her car with a thick wad of cash, and heading to a Malaysian Proton showroom to buy the car -- not before saying that younger people who constantly found excuses not to work should "be ashamed of themselves".

According to her post, the man has back issues and a doctor had told him that he should no longer ride his motorcycle for work.

Her decision to buy the car for him was because the man would still need to be able to fend for himself, and with the vehicle, he would be able to go about his job in comfort and safety.

Her video then showed that she had fetched the man to the showroom, where she and the showroom staff welcomed him warmly, presented him with the car, and completed the paperwork.

Right in the emotions

Bellestrelle got emotional when the man thanked her for the gift, saying she nearly cried, and that when one was more fortunate, it was right to share it with others.

According to World of Buzz, she also said the man reminded her of her grandfathers, who both worked despite their old age.
