#NSTviral: Royally-honoured security guard Yogeswary goes viral again for kindness at Ipoh hospital [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: R. Yogeswary, fondly known to the public as 'Auntie Yoges,' a beloved security guard at Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital, Ipoh, has once again captured the hearts of Malaysians after a video showing her helping a patient went viral. Posted by user @budakwheelchair, the TikTok video begins with him circling the hospital car park seven times before stopping near the lobby. The caption asks, "Do Ipoh people know Auntie Yoges?" The security guard spoke to him through his car window. "What did Auntie say? One round, then wait for me, right? Why are you so stubborn?" The TikTok user responds in jest, "I tried looking for parking somewhere else first. Is there any parking, Auntie? I feel like making you go viral again." To this, she laughed. "Don't make me go viral again. Just pray for Auntie." The moment takes a more moving turn when the user, who is paraplegic, handed her his phone. It then showed him exiting the car and transferring himself into a wheelchair without assistance. Auntie Yoges, still by his side, offered a heartfelt prayer. "May everything go smoothly for my dear. May you be blessed with good health and strength. May your journey be a truly good one. You're the best, dear. Auntie really respects you." Yogeswary previously made national headlines in 2023 for her compassion and tireless service, which earned her the Pingat Pangkuan Negara (PPN) from the then Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah. In the new video, she is seen in uniform, proudly wearing the ribbon representing the prestigious honour. Many commenters were quick to recognise her and praise her continued kindness, to which Yogeswary replied with warm gratefulness in the comments. "I received this medal because of all of you… auntie will always give good service, dik (dear)," she wrote. Netizens flooded the video with warm recollections. "(Yogeswary) knows everyone well. She calls everyone younger than her 'adik', all the kids 'anak', all the older folks 'mak' or 'abah'. Some she even calls 'sayang'. This auntie has such lovely manners," wrote @ "The first time I met Aunty Yoges was while caring for my late mother... She comforted the patients' family members waiting outside the Emergency Department," said MrsAdy7083. "Sometimes, my father goes for chemotherapy just to see her. She walks him all the way to the haematology clinic," another commenter, @najjjj, shared. "When I was about to give birth for the first time... she held my arm and guided me all the way to the lobby. Thank you, auntie—your kindness will be repaid with more kindness," added user NIRy. Many others spoke of her continued acts of kindness: helping book rides, watching over children, and ensuring there is always parking when needed.
