KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 — A simple gesture of kindness goes a long way for a Tesco Supermarket worker in Kedah.

Ain Fatin Lyana from Alor Setar thought she had lost her husband’s wallet containing RM2,000 at Tesco Stargate where she went to do some late night grocery shopping.

To her relief, the wallet was found in a shopping trolley by kindhearted Tesco Supermarket worker Azhar Abdul Hamid, who then returned it to them.

Overwhelmed by the worker’s action, Ain Fatin praised Azhar on Facebook for his honesty.

Although the supermarket was already closing, Ain Fatin managed to approach a worker who was arranging the trolleys.

“I asked if he had found any wallet and he said ‘yes’. He found a black one and was about to pass to the customer service,” she added.

Ain Fatin said she was surprised by Azhar’s honesty and thanked him for returning the wallet.

“When we checked the wallet, everything inside was untouched,” she said.
