When the cat doesn't respond, the woman repeats herself in Malay, humorously chiding: "Why do I have to take care of your child?"

The woman then reaches across the drain to pick up the kitten, placing it with the older cat while saying, "Whose child is this?"

Netizens were amused at the woman's remarks and her attempts to communicate with the cat in Malay, describing the situation as "cute" and calling her a "saviour".

"Plot twist: That's not his mother," another joked.

Others shared similar experiences: "I once saved a child from falling off an escalator because his parents were playing with their phones," a netizen said.
