Roadside ice cream carts have been plying the streets for decades and are beloved by most Singaporeans.

Not only is the ice cream relatively affordable at about S$1 - S$1.50, you get a dose of sweet, sweet nostalgia too.

Considering the price of the ice cream though, these elderly uncles likely don't earn much.

Which makes the story of one uncle's honesty ever more precious.

Refused to accept change

One Jeremy Goh posted to Facebook an encounter with an ice cream uncle at Jurong West.

Goh shared that the ice cream he bought cost S$1.20. After paying, he asked the uncle to keep the extra change.

It was not stated how much Goh paid the uncle.

The uncle, however, refused to accept the change, and according to Goh, even chased after him to return the money.

The uncle apparently said that this was his "principle" to making an honest living.

Instead of paying him extra, the uncle would rather Goh patronise his cart more.

Goh then urged Facebook users to purchase ice cream from him, especially with the recent hot weather.

According to Goh, the uncle typically stations himself around Blk 674 Jurong West St 65 or outside Boon Lay Secondary School, everyday from 2pm to 10pm.

Earns praise

The post has since gone viral, garnering over 1,100 shares at the time of writing.

Numerous social media users praised the uncle's actions and promised that they would buy ice cream from him as well.

Kudos to the uncle.
