I WAS at Seremban’s Rasah Jaya market buying meat from a stall run by a Chinese man. As I took out my wallet, a RM20 note fell out and dropped into a small drain blocked with thin poles. The drain was not deep but I couldn’t reach the money and I couldn’t lift the poles off. I gave up and paid the meat seller, mentioning my bad luck in passing.
I had not meant to ask him for help so I was honestly shocked when he went about searching for something to retrieve the note with. He spoke in Chinese to the other stall owners and finally found something; within seconds he had retrieved the money.
