When One Shouldn't Fight Fire With Fire

Note: A little story perfect for this Lenten season

At the AHP Building Maybank branch:

A Malay woman was using the only cheque deposit machine in service. She had a stack in her hand and was busy sorting out the next cheque to feed into the machine. A Chinese woman suddenly burst into the branch and said in the bitchiest tone she could muster:

"PLEASE don't hog the machine!"

The Malay woman rolled her eyes. Turned to face her with a fake smile and let her use the machine.

"OFFLINE?! How come offline?!"

Patiently, the Malay woman guided her which button to press. Apparently the Chinese woman did not know how to operate it. The Malay woman continued to patiently help her key in the required fields. Not feeling so high and mighty anymore, she meekly replied:

"Thanks a lot... You can use the machine now."

She swallowed her pride and rushed out. It is amazing what a little kindness can do. Bravo to the Malay woman.

Never fail to treat someone with kindness, unless the person's perpetual meanness hurts us too much instead nothing could be worse than knowingly hurting ourselves, me feels!

At least she sedar diri sikit

@Danny:
It's not about race. Our newspapers like to report news without specifying the race, but I feel it's just stupid. So what if it was a Chinese, Malay or Indian robber?

@Soul232:
At least you would not be tainted by the negativity of others

@Grat:
Hard to stay level-headed at times.

@Nick:
She has very high EQ
