Several individuals even speculated that the uncle might travel frequently to Malaysia and would need the cash if he did. One netizen’s mentioned “It’s refreshing to see some positive videos about grab drivers.” While another netizen mentioned “How kind souls still exist in a world like this.” Many people commended the Grab driver for being gracious and taking Hana’s payment in ringgit because she had made an honest error. This TikTok post went viral overnight due to the kindness of the driver’s heart. In the video, you can see him pointing her toward a bank branch where she could exchange her ringgit for Singapore dollars.

Hana thanked the uncle for taking Malaysian ringgit as payment, and he suggested that she use a debit or credit card to book Grabs while she was in Singapore to prevent a repeat of the problem. In the video, the rider is seen figuring out how much to give Hana before offering her change in Singaporean dollars. Hana revealed the cost of her Grab journey in a clip she published on her TikTok profile (approximately RM80).

Thankfully for Hana, her Grab driver permitted her to pay for her ride in ringgit. Unknowingly, she didn’t remember to convert the currency of the cash she was carrying and had just Malaysian Ringgit in it. Recently, Hana, a Japanese girl who lives in Malaysia, detailed a minor problem she ran into after ordering a Grab during a trip to Singapore. Unfortunately, we occasionally forget in the thick of all the preparation and packing.

WE have all taken trips before, and one thing tourists should never forget to do is change their cash into the local currency before entering a new country.
