The mother of the 11-year-old girl shared the story on social media after receiving a call from her daughter’s teacher about her daughter giving money to her classmates. According to China Press , the teacher said the 11-year-old girl was inspired by her mother’s generosity to her relatives and freely gave money to her friends at school.

The mother of an 11-year-old girl was shocked to hear that her daughter had distributed about 3,000 ringgit (about 17 million VND) in denominations of 20, 50 and 100 ringgit.

At first, the mother was very curious about the source of the money because she only gave her daughter 5 ringgit (28 thousand VND) for pocket money every day. Later, she discovered that the money came from her daughter's "green envelope". In other words, this was the money the girl received from relatives during Eid al-Fitr - the traditional Muslim festival marking the end of Ramadan.

On this day, Muslim children in Malaysia traditionally receive green envelopes filled with money. This custom is similar to the custom of giving lucky money during Lunar New Year.

The 11-year-old girl shared that she had a lot of lucky money so she wanted to please her classmates like her mother did for her family.

While the mother expressed joy at her daughter’s generosity, she also cried when she learned of the large sum of money. In her social media post, the mother humorously mentioned that she was keeping track of how much money her daughter brought to school each day. Since her daughter’s piggy bank contained a significant amount of cash, she was worried that her daughter might give money to her classmates.

"Sometimes, children's innocent actions can make adults laugh and cry at the same time," one person commented under the social media post of the 11-year-old girl's mother.
