Goh was en route to Maybank in Bandar Baru, Ampang, when the uncle approached him with a polite “Boss, boss.”
Curious, Goh paused to listen. The elderly cobbler, having recently set up his stall, humbly requested Goh’s assistance in promoting his new business online.The uncle, who specialises in shoe repairs and sole replacements, was hoping for a bit of help to spread the word. Moved by the cobbler’s request, Goh took some photos of the stall and posted them on Facebook to generate awareness.
He wrote: “The day before yesterday evening, while I was withdrawing money at a bank in Malaysia, I met an elderly Malay man. He politely referred to me as “boss” and asked if I could help him with an advertisement on Facebook.”“Seeing the elderly man waiting for customers with no one coming by, I felt a bit sad. So, without hesitation, I took a few photos and, since I had some free time today, I went ahead and posted the advertisement for him.”“I hope my small effort can be of help to him.
