Unsung Hero

Every few times I drive to work, this man would be standing in the middle of the road, directing traffic. I've seen him at 2 locations; in front of Setiawangsa traffic light and near Jelatek junction.




First of all, he's not a police traffic. You can see it from his clothes. Wearing a white shirt with a reflective jacket paired with black pants and a white helmet, some may think he is a traffic police.

But he still comes out to serve the society that doesn't really appreciate those that serve them.

In a race-conscious Malaysia, his weather-beaten leathery skin does not give a clue of his race, what more his religion.

It is people like him that makes Malaysia work, not politicians. Many credits were taken by politicians who deserve nothing but scorn for splitting this once united nation, all for the sake of power and personal glory.

    1. Hi there!
      Yes, you may. The uncle needs to be given credit for his selflessness.
