A viral video tugged at the heartstrings of Malaysians recently, showing a hardworking elderly woman selling kuih or snacks to road users at a traffic light while the lights were red.
The video, shared by TikTok user @fellicaempirehq has garnered over 1.3 million views and more than 143,000 likes in just under 24 hours.
In the video, the elderly woman can be seen walking from car to car while carrying two baskets full of kuih that she was selling, with some of it being purchased by the third vehicle she went to, the driver of a silver MPV.
The video then showed @fellicaempirehq buying two packets of the elderly woman’s kuih, to which she was really thankful.
In fact, the mak cik even raised her arms and prayed to God that they would be blessed for their generosity.
In the text overlaid on the video, @fellicaempirehq said,
“I’m not strong to see something such as this. Saw this Auntie at a traffic light. Honestly, I teared up without noticing.
“Our parents sacrificed a lot for our sake without us even noticing. I can only pray for you Auntie… I was really taken aback when she prayed for my whole family’s well-being ?.”

In the comments section, many Malaysians were sad to see the elderly woman still working hard at her age and pledged to support her in any way they could.
One commenter revealed that the location of the traffic light is near his home, which is in Pasir Tumbuh, Kelantan. He added that the friendly mak cik has been selling kuih for a long time and that her doughnuts are really tasty.
Meanwhile, another commenter who had also previously bought kuih from the elderly woman claimed that the reason she is still working hard selling snacks is because her child is sick to the point of being bedridden.
Besides that, one Malaysian said that if she was at the scene, she would buy all of the kuih that the mak cik was selling and give them to those in need.
