A domestic worker who lost several thousand Hong Kong dollars in cash got her money back after a staff member found it in a grocery store in Yuen Long, New Territories.
Last Friday, the 30-year-old maid went shopping for groceries in a store on New Street, Apple Daily reported. After leaving the store, she realized that she had lost HK$7,000 cash (US$895). She immediately returned to the store, but could not find the lost money.
It was understood that the money belonged to her employer. The domestic worker was very worried and couldn’t sleep for a few nights as she expected that her boss would deduct the loss from her salary.
In the meantime, a female staffer found the money as she was tidying up the stocks. She then wrote a note saying “We found HK$7,000 cash, please contact us ASAP” in Chinese on a piece of cardboard and placed it in the store.
As many domestic workers shop in that particular store, the woman who found the cash asked some of them to translate the notice and post it with a photo on Facebook to let other workers know.
On Tuesday, the maid who had lost the money went to the store. After verifying that she was the right person with surveillance video, the staffer returned the money to the relieved maid.
In return, the domestic worker bought some fruit and gave her benefactor a big hug in appreciation.
Honesty is the best policy….good job for doing the right thing…a clear conscience is better than any material thing…God Bless
Pasalamat d kapwa ang nakakuha at d greedy ung tao
Very honest!
Nangyari sa akin hkd8,000 hindi na sinauli sa sa boarding house ng agency ko nawala! But God is Watching us!!! Masmalaki ang kapalit ika nga…
If filipino nkakuha nyan d n yan isasauli.pont of view ko lng pero d cguro lahat
Korek kung kapwa pinoy nakapulot wla na ang pera…wlang kahirap hirapnd na dadayo ng worldwide para mandukot pupulutin na lng
You just harvest what you sow,,,,,,,
I dont really understand why, kapwa Pilipina mga nag co comments pero ang dignidad bilang pagka Pilipino mismong binababa nila. Ika nga talkers are doers. Hindi lahat ng Pilipino ay gahaman at sinungaleng or magnanakaw at hindi lahat ng ibang lahi ay mababait. Common sense sana may CCTV or surveilance camera ang store so di rin pwede kunin nung nakapulot yung alam nyang hindi kanya. Sana bago mag komento isipin din natin kung nakakabuti ba o hindi sa ating Lahi bilang kapwa Pilipino ang ating mga sinasabe. Lets always be possitive. Just saying
Kung kapwa pinay nakakuha nyan hnd na yan ibabalik.finders keeper mga pinay eh
Gawain mo siguro yan..????????????????
Anigz Enriquez Zulueta gawain mo siguro yan.
Gawain mo siguro yan

Lovely story with a happy ending. There is still humanity in Hong Kong.
Hindi lahat ng pilipino
Hindi nnaman lahat
Ma Filipino o Chinese marking mabubuti at masasama
Hwag ka naman sobrang mapanghusga sa kababayan mo…
Nothing is more beautiful than honesty.
pag sa boarding haus nawala wag n umasa maibalik kc snadyang nakawin,
pray to that person to repent…and let God restore ur lost money
Dito Pag may mapulot kang wallet or pera Di ka basta basta dadampot or ibulsa dahil lahat ng lugar napaikutan ng mga CCTV ako nga dalawang beses na ko nakakita ng wallets sa supermarketii ibinigay ko sa management bahala na siya managot Kong Di on ya ireporr
Ito ang sakit natin kapwa pilipino ang mismo ang magpa bagsak sa dignity kapwa pilipino nakakalongkot isipin,hindi naman lahat ang pilipino mapagsamantala o magnanakaw
wala yan sa lahi, nasa paguugali yan..
sa ngcomment sa taas…ask ko lng bakit Chinese or Americana kb?kau mismo Ang sumisira sa imahe ntin dto..cguro ganyan kau pg my napulot dna sinusuli.wag nung lahatin.maksalita KAU ng PINOY OR PINAY WAGAS….HALERRRRR….
Angelita Ducanes intindihin mu po ung comment q..
Bago ka.mag react intindihin mu muna ung binabasa mu..
Masakit isipin na sa kapwa natin pilipino tayo nawawalan ng tiwala, pero yan kase ang katotohanan nakikita natin.
grabe nman hinahamak mo ka kapwa natin marami ding pinoy or pinay may magagandang kalooban.
May mata kasi.iyan ang gamut ng CCTV.
Tuo k dyan…masakit man isipin pero mas magti2wala kpa sa ibang lahi kaysa kalahi mo….????????
Anigz Enriquez Zulueta Hindi nman lahatt sis,ako ,3 time n ako nkpulot sinosoli ko s may hari wag nman my masyadong mg husga sa kapwa.God bless
Hnesyty is the best policy ..thank u so much to hthe staff
Ung iba sabihin pa na answered prayer daw kc wala namang pangalan ang naka iwan kaya sabihin nila na para sa kanila un. Hindi po naman lahat marami pa rin namang matitino.
Ms.Romela pinoy lang ba tlga ang may ganung masamang ugali?
Sa akin kahit anong lahi kung walang konsensya ay tlgang di niya ibabalik. Be fair nman kbyan.
