If you haven’t already seen the news, an elderly cleaner, Mdm Teo Ino Meo, was stripped of the chance to travel to Hokkaido for a week – a trip that she has been diligently saving up for after a local tour agency, Sky Travel & Tours Pte Ltd went AWOL.
Mdm Teo, who earns S$250 a month, said she had already paid the entire travel sum in full, but could not seem to contact the tour agency after it closed its shutters. She only learned about it hours before her flight on Monday through a text message that the agency sent to its customers.
Thankfully for Mdm Teo, local travel agency, Klook, decided to chip in to help find Mdm Teo and to fulfill her dreams.
How can we let a fellow traveller, especially one in yellow, miss out on her chance to escape the ordinary!
We’ll #helpmadamteo and her friend, Madam Beh, Scoot to Hokkaido with an extra Klook surprise! Re-share this post to help us find Auntie and her friend so that they can go on a holiday. For the rest of the group mates, private message us for a special deal. Steady lah
They then collaborated with SCOOT, a local budget airline to send Mdm Teo and her friend on a trip to Hokkaido. The efforts were also escalated with the help of SGAG, a local Facebook page.
Thankfully, thanks to the Internet, Mdm Teo was found and they will be liaising with Klook to plan out their itinerary for the trip.
Scoot is also offering a 20 per cent discount on flights to Hokkaido for those registered on the same tour as Madam Teo, using the promotional code SUREFLY, which is valid until Dec 11.
It’s really heartening to see how a simple act of sharing on social media can have such a huge impact to the lives of others. So, really, the next time someone asks you to share something on Facebook, don’t hesitate.
