Garbage truck driver is three-year-old boy’s unsung hero


Thank you, Uncle Azmi: Gary carrying Tyler as they pose for the camera with Azmi and his garbage truck outside their home in Taman Mutiara Rini, Johor Baru.

JOHOR BARU: Every Wednesday and Sunday morning, little Tyler Yeow will be on standby near the front door of his home to wait for the arrival of his hero – the garbage truck driver.

The three-year-old will run to the door when he hears the sound of the trash compactor truck entering his street in Taman Mutiara Rini and wave at the waste management workers, especially lorry driver Azmi Kadir.
