All it took was a simple pencil box to bring people together.
Lawyer Ahmad Zaharil Muhaiyar did not expect his kind deed in 1998 would pay back in the best way possible years later.
She promised her son, who was in Year 4, to get him a pencil box as a gift if he became a top student in his class, which he did. After speaking to a court magistrate, he managed to postpone the woman’s case and set out to verify her claim by visiting the son’s school in Sentul. Ahmad managed to mitigate the woman’s case on her behalf. Fortunately, the magistrate discharged the mother on a one-year good behaviour bond.
An unexpected reunion Fast forward to 2018, Ahmad had a pleasant surprise one day at work. He first noticed a young lawyer who kept looking at him. The next day, the man in his early 30s finally approached Ahmad to introduce himself. Ahmad said they proceeded to visit the boy’s mother, who is now 76 years old. He said they have become close like a family and would visit each other on festive days like Deepavali and Hari Raya.Despite our diverse backgrounds, Ahmad believes our differences are minute and yet we have similarities. He believed all of us can live in harmony as one big family.
