A video of a food deliveryman walking from Gaya Street to The Palace Hotel in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, recently went viral on TikTok

In the 33-second clip shared by user @neverpermanent, the man can be seen crossing a busy road and walking towards his customer's location.

"I feel sorry for him for walking so far. When he arrived, he kept on saying sorry for being late," said the customer.

"May all riders and deliverymen have an easy journey and be successful in life and the hereafter."

The video caught the attention of Adrian Edy, a well-known welfare activist who searched for the deliveryman and gifted him a bicycle

According to Adrian's Instagram post, he said that his followers have been tagging him on the TikTok video asking him to help the man.

"Last week, he walked to deliver food to a customer at a hotel. The customer was surprised that he walked because the distance to the restaurant was quite far, between 6km to 7km," said Adrian.

Adrian went on to say that the deliveryman, who goes by Khai, has been saving up for months to buy himself a bicycle.

"He doesn't come from a wealthy family, so he is willing to travel long distances to earn a living. Every week he would send money to his mother back in their village," Adrian added.

"He'd work from 8am to 9pm every day, but the orders aren't consistent. There are times when he has no orders to send, and because he delivers by foot, he can't deliver food to faraway locations."

Khai cried when he was given the bicycle and after Adrian encouraged him to keep fighting

The deliveryman said that it felt like a dream to meet Adrian in person and to be given a gift that he had always wanted.

"God brought us together, maybe thanks to the prayers of my brother, my mother, and prayers of my friends," said Khai.

Adrian then told him to take care of the bicycle and to keep having faith in God as every good thing comes from Him.

"He immediately used the bike for work, and he texted me on WhatsApp that he's gotten more orders as of late," said Adrian.
