KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian businessman Sunny Seow is being hailed online for his recent act of generosity towards two of his Malay employees, whom he rewarded with two months' bonuses and a week-long Raya holiday.
In a viral Facebook post, Sunny said he has been working alongside the two employees for a remarkable 12 years.
He said that providing the Raya bonuses well in advance enables his employees to prepare for the upcoming festive season with ease.

"One of them is now married with two children. I take pride in having played a role in lifting a family out of poverty," he wrote.
Running a Tau Foo Fa business, Sunny said he had previously extended Chinese New Year bonuses to his Chinese employees.
"I thank them for their loyalty throughout these 12 years. They don't make that much, but they're still surviving. Good luck!"
