Acts of kindness are infectious


Goodie bags: Vegetables and fruits left on a fence in Sabah during the pandemic. ­­ —­ Prisca Lambun/Facebook

AT the entrance of Kampung Pogunon in Penampang, Sabah, bamboo shoots are hanging from the fence around a villager’s wooden home. The message on the wire-mesh fence – as well as on social media platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook, where it is accompanied by photos – reads “Free, take one”.

During this ongoing movement control order (MCO) period, Joe Suleiman, 59, has been hanging bags of bamboo shoots, bananas and chillies on his fence.
