We’re not crying, you’re crying!
Birthdays are often times of joy and celebration, where we come together to make our loved ones feel special. But what about those who are not as close to us?

The security guard at your office, the barista at your local coffee shop, or the janitor at your school? They may not be people we interact with on a daily basis, but that does not make them any less important.
A recent heartwarming video has been making rounds on social media, showing the surprise birthday celebration of a security guard who was visibly moved to tears. It was his first birthday celebration in eight years since coming to Malaysia to work.
The video shows the guard being called into the office, where his colleagues gathered around him and began singing the birthday song.
The guard was taken aback and overwhelmed by the gesture, and he humbly bowed down to everyone in appreciation. He was handed a tissue by one of his colleagues, as he wiped away tears of joy.
The kind and thoughtful gesture shown towards the security guard did not only make his day memorable, but it also made him feel appreciated and loved.
It is important to remember that kindness and generosity should be extended to everyone, regardless of their position or relationship with us.
This heartwarming incident has been praised by many Malaysians, who are thankful for the appreciation shown towards those who are often overlooked.
As one netizen commented, "Security guards deserved respect and gratitude for their work in keeping the place safe, and we’re truly happy to see this man getting the love he deserves."
Let us all take a moment to appreciate the people around us who may not receive the same level of attention and recognition as others.
A little act of kindness can go a long way in making someone's day and reminding them that they are valued and loved.
