IPOH: Religious and racial differences are not a barrier for K. Kittu, a school security guard, to have a close-knit relationship with SK Bandar Baru Putera students, the majority of whom are Malays.

Fondly known as Uncle Kittu, the 50-year-old Taiping native, who had worked at the school for six years, said he had many cherished memories with the students, making him reluctant to leave them whom he regarded as his own children.
