Good Samaritan’s Facebook post highlighted destitute family's plight and launched an outpouring of help
SHAH ALAM: A black car slowly approaches along the gravel track, and M Kanagi nervously sweeps her front porch again.
Adi Kamal, the person the family only knew as the “Malay man” and who Kanagi wanted to thank in person, was arriving to meet them.Adi and his wife, Juita Jayaram, are a naturally reserved couple who never wanted to be in the public eye.As Adi and Juita, stepped from the car, Kanagi and her husband S Sukumarah rushed to greet them.Inside their small home, the family pulled out all the stops for Adi and Juita, giving them iced syrup to drink and offering them the only chairs in the house.
But pride of place in the house goes to the new electrical equipment bought to replace Sukumarah’s bucket and rags so he can start his own proper car washing business. Towards the end of the hour-long visit, Kanagi could no longer hold back her emotions, and tears streamed down her face. Adi reflected on the visit. “I wish them all the best and I want to thank everyone who helped share their story.
