Malaysia girl, inspired by mum’s generosity, surprises her by distributing US$700 to friends
Daughter notes that mother gives money to relatives, bringing them joy, she wants to do the same for friends
A girl in Malaysia said she was inspired by her mother’s generosity towards her relatives and distributed 3,000 ringgit (US$700) to her classmates, sparking significant amusement online.
The mother shared the story on social media after receiving a call from her daughter’s teacher about the sudden inspiration for charity.
The teacher said the 11-year-old had been freely handing out cash to her peers at school, according to China Press.
The mother expressed her shock upon discovering that her child had distributed approximately 3,000 ringgit in denominations of 20, 50, and even 100 notes.
The mother became curious about where her daughter got so much cash because she only gave her five ringgit (US$1.2) for her daily pocket money.
It turned out that the cash came from the girl’s “green envelopes”, or the money she received from relatives during Eid al-Fitr, which is the traditional Muslim celebration to mark the end of Ramadan.
