One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
In a TikTok video, shared by user @abieaisymikhail shows a father who discovered a pink trolley toy at a landfill close to his home, while he was on his way to work.

The trolley, which seems to have lost two of its wheels, still looks intact and needs a little cleaning and fixing up.
According to Harian Metro, the father, Mohd Zakiman Irwan, didn't go to get it right away and waited until he had finished work to go back to the garbage dump. And luckily the trolley was still there!
He then took a photo of the pink trolley to show it to his wife, who had given him the go-ahead to bring it home. He then washed the toy as soon as he got home before letting his children play with it.
The video, which was shared three days ago has since garnered over 895,000 views at the time of writing.
“Are you not ashamed? Picking up toys from the garbage? To me, it doesn’t matter as long as my children are happy,” the caption reads.
The father of two told reporters that his children knew where he got the toy from and they, too, did not care. He added that he usually buys their toys at a RM2 shop, because that is what he could afford to buy for his kids as a factory worker.
Netizens took to the comment section to tell the father to ignore all the negative comments and assured him that his children only see the love that he has given them, “In their eyes, you are their hero.”
Ahh, our hearts! We wish you nothing but happiness, Mr. Zakiman!
