The saying, "Do good, and it will come back to you," is a familiar one in our daily lives. It's undeniable that performing acts of kindness toward others is encouraged because the goodness we spread tends to find its way back to us. However, the story of this man took an unexpected turn.

Dia masuk dalam rupanya dia tapau je. Cakap kat aku terima kasih & gerak. Bila bayar bill dia nak dekat 70. Ayam, daging, sotong, udang dlm bill
In a Twitter post, the man shared his experience of being approached by a beggar while dining at a nasi kandar restaurant in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. He recounted how the beggar approached him and promptly invited him to fetch some rice and dishes from inside the restaurant. His intention at that moment was to treat the beggar to a meal.
"I told him, 'Want to eat? Go get some rice inside the restaurant.'" He further explained that the beggar went inside the restaurant and came out with a package of food before expressing gratitude and departing.
Unexpectedly, when the man went to the counter to settle the bill, he was shocked to find that the price of the food wrapped by the beggar amounted to nearly RM70! "To pay, I was surprised that his bill alone was RM70. It included chicken, beef, squid, and more in the receipt."
Most netizens who read about this man's experience left comments expressing their sympathy. Some offered advice and shared their own experiences. In any case, when we intend to do good for others, it's essential to exercise discretion, as not everyone may appreciate our kindness in the same way.
