Honesty saves the day for ‘cash in trash’ owner


Messy heap: An E-Idaman worker clearing the big piles of discarded or unwanted items in plastic bags from the porch of Aminah’s house in Kupang. Right pic shows Aminah smiling as the recovered money is returned to her at her home.

SUNGAI PETANI: A woman had a scare when her stash of more than RM2,000 kept in a plastic bag was accidentally thrown away with the trash, but nine honest garbage collectors helped her find it.

The workers went through the massive pile of rubbish, bag by bag, at the waste disposal centre in Pulai until they found her savings.
