You see, kids, it pays to be nice sometimes.
A man who secretly paid for Tony Fernandes’ lunch recently was given a suprise gift by the AirAsia boss in return.
According to a report by Guang Ming Daily, translated by The Star Online, 27-year-old Jackson Yee was having his birthday lunch alone when he noticed Fernandes and a group of his friends sitting across from him at a Putrajaya restaurant on June 29.
Jackson told the Chinese daily that he wanted to take a picture with Fernandes as he is one of his idols, but decided against it as the AirAsia group chief executive was engaged in a conversation with his friends.
Instead, he decided to pay for Fernandes’ lunch – which amounted up to RM60 – and left him a note, thanking him for being such an inspiration to all Malaysians.
Fernandes then posted the note on his Facebook page, and offered Jackson a ticket to the Maldives, which he accepted:
“This has just made my day and inspired (me) to continue inspiring others.” Jackson wrote in response to Fernandes’ post. “Hope this can send positive vibes to everyone here.”
