A YOUNG boy who broke down in tears after his toy car was damaged received an unexpected gesture of kindness from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The encounter was shared on Threads by the child’s mother, who posted a video of Anwar approaching the youngster and trying to console him as he cried over his broken toy.
In her post, the mother said the child had been inconsolable after his toy car broke, prompting Anwar to step in and offer some comfort.
She said the Prime Minister then handed him RM50 and told him to buy a new toy car.
“Keeping this here as a memory. The Prime Minister was spending time with my child, who was crying because his toy car had broken. He then gave him RM50 and told him to buy a new car,” she wrote.
The video showed Anwar reassuring the youngster that he could get a bigger and better replacement.
“Your toy car is broken. Grandpa will buy you another one. Keep this one, here’s RM50. You can buy a new one, something nicer and bigger, okay,” he told the child.
The mother also expressed her prayers for Anwar, wishing him Allah’s continued protection, mercy and blessings.
The post has since drawn attention on social media, with the brief exchange capturing a personal moment between the Prime Minister and a young child during his public engagement. - November 9, 2026
