#NSTViral: Foreigners win hearts after picking up fallen Jalur Gemilang [WATCH]

A group of foreign workers in Malaysia have captured the hearts of many with their admirable display of respect after picking up a fallen Jalur Gemilang flag and returning it to its rightful place. The touching scene, shared on Threads, depicts the men retrieving the mini flag from the ground, gently wiping it clean, and securely fastening it back onto a fence with a warm smile.

The video, which has garnered over 333,000 views, was posted by user @_.aininnn, who mentioned that the men were likely walking to a mosque for Friday prayers. This heartwarming act has resonated with Malaysians ahead of National Day celebrations, evoking positive reactions and admiration.

One user, @aneul22, expressed their warm feelings, stating, "This warms my heart. Little action, but it means so much." Another netizen, @drchalida.aesthetic, praised the courteous nature of many foreign workers in the country, noting that most Bangladeshis are very well-mannered.

User @zizah_hilin shared a poignant personal story about the bravery of a Bangladeshi worker during a past flood disaster. Her friend recounted how the man dived underwater to save a child who had fallen into a deep drain. Since that incident, the man has treated every Bangladeshi he meets with kindness and deep respect, often greeting them with a hug or a warm pat on the shoulder.
