Going above the call of duty


More than words: Insp Saravanan (pic, below) did a good deed of giving an elderly scrap collector some money while on patrol. The act captured in this screencap from a video uploaded to the Royal Malaysia Police Facebook page has been winning praise from Malaysians.

IPOH: The sight of an elderly man, huffing and puffing away on a tricycle with a load of recyclable items, was too much to bear for Insp G. Saravanan.

So, he asked his patrolling partner Sjn Asrul Shafawi Jamaluddin to make a U-turn and stopped the man, who was toiling under the hot sun, and handed him RM50.
