Kind gesture towards employee touches hearts

KUCHING: How often do you hear of bosses giving out cars to employees as a gesture of gratitude?

In a heartwarming video posted on the AmzKuching Facebook page, a restaurant owner here has captured the hearts of many with a touching gesture towards one of his employees.

The video, which has since garnered nearly 261,000 views and over 300 comments, showcased the owner’s extraordinary act of appreciation and generosity.

In the video, the restaurant owner can be seen asking his friend to accompany him to purchase a new car for one of his employees.

“I’m going to buy a Myvi. The car is not for me, but for one of my staff. That’s a way of showing them how grateful I am for their commitment and responsibility every day,” he explained.

He goes on to share the backstory of his employee, who has been with him for more than three years.

“He has previously been under bad influences and couldn’t find a job until he started working with me.

“Over the past three years, he has performed extremely well. I just want to show some gratitude towards him,” he added.

Later in the video, the owner is seen inspecting the condition of a white Myvi at what appears to be a car detailing shop.

The anticipation builds as the car is brought to the restaurant. The staff member is visibly shocked upon realising that the car has been gifted to him by his generous employer.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he gratefully thanks and hugs his employer.

“Today I witnessed a touching moment. We hope to have more bosses like this. We hope everyone has a great working environment,” the friend remarked at the end of the video.

The comments section is filled with praise for the kind employer, with many expressing their admiration for his selfless act.
