The post struck a chord with Malaysians, many of whom chimed in to share their own small acts of support.
One Redditor wrote: “Just bought four of paket nasi kuning telor for them, don’t know if I managed to convey what I meant.”
Another shared how even a modest contribution felt impactful: “I did my part. RM40 being able to feed a lot of people really put me into perspective. Wish I could do more but I’m really happy I did it.”
Others highlighted the deeper bond between both nations. “Indonesia and Malaysia are very much family-like. We say things to each other, but when others are in need, we help them regardless.”
