After my Photowalk in KL on 20/3/2021, I got a Grab Taxi to take me to the YL Camera at Pudu Plaza. During the ride, I have a conversation with him. He asked me why I was going to Pudu Plaza and I told him to get my old camera repaired. He said that I have the same hobby as his father -photography. When he noticed I was wearing a cap, he mentioned that I look like his father. By the way, I am old enough to be his father!
When I arrived at the Pudu Plaza, he said he will wait for me so that he could send me to Bukit Bintang MRT to go home to BB Bangi. He parked his car and accompanied me to the YL Camera Shop. I told him I am okay, but he insisted to walk with me so that I am safe with my camera. By the way, my camera is only Fujifilm XT1 but his father’s camera is a Leica!
May Allah reward Encik Farouk handsomely for his kindness to a senior citizen. This reminds me of the saying: Be kind to strangers, for he may be an angel in disguise.(By the way, I am no angel)
