Jaya was hesitant to buy clothes for herself after her children got two pairs each for this Deepavali but Cikgu Fadli is not going to let her go without getting her new clothes. After much persuading, she walked towards the ladies section to get her some clothing wrote Cikgu Fadli in his Facebook post on October 25th.
This Deepavali will be the most memorable for Jaya and her children. A good samaritan Mohd Fadli Salleh or fondly known as Cikgu Fadli, a primary school teacher in Gombak, took them on an all-paid shopping trip.
In a Facebook post dated on October 25th, Fadli recounted the Deepavali shopping trip where the mother was very concerned about buying clothes for her children and had to be reassured countless times.
“This is RM 15 apiece just take that, it is only RM12, pity Cikgu,” Jaya said to her son wrote Cikgu Fadli.
Then, Fadli had to step in and tell the mother to buy what they like and not to worry about the price tag. Only then the family of four started shopping properly wrote Fadli.
Fadli did not only buy them clothes but also groceries and poultry for the Deepavali celebration. Before sending them back Fadli took the children to Kentucky Fried Chicken as a Deepavali surprise.
Fadli’s post received an astounding response from the netizen. It has received 31,000 likes, 4600 comments and shared 6,000 times. Many of them took the opportunity to wish Jaya and her family a Happy Deepavali.
Fadli through his organisation Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dana Kita has been bringing cheer and hope to those in need. The funds sourced from the public is used to assist needy students through their projects such as School Bag Project, School Shoe Project and many others.
Fadli also wrote that each year they require more RM100,000 to assist thousands of school-going needy children.
