Man seeks shelter at police station on Hari Raya


Unexpected visitor: ASP Wee sharing a meal with Johan Iskandar at the Setapak police station.

KUALA LUMPUR: While most people dread going to a police station just to lodge a report, a man who is down on his luck walked about 3.5km to seek shelter there on Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Setapak station chief Asst Supt Wee Bee Seng offered 36-year-old Johan Iskandar Dean Salter a place to stay on Sunday night when he could not get a room at the homeless shelter near Hos­pital Kuala Lumpur as it was full.
