Good Samaritan

I've witnessed a wonderful thing on my way back home just now and i thought to myself, i must blog about this and give credits to him.

For those who didnt know (except for Peky, i know what u are going to say about this..), there is one part of the road to my house which is rather steep, going upwards just like driving up a hill. If you are lucky, u can accelerate and drive up without having much problem. But there are times when there is car(s) coming from the right side of the road (it was unfortunately a T-junction by fact, right in the middle of the steep road. Can u just believe how "great" and "safe" is the infrastructure at my area?), u will have to stop the car and wait for your turn. Now this is where u practice and apply your balancing skill that u've learned during the driving lessons. :P

So there was this old and disabled Indian man, riding a motorcycle for the disabled people, with an extra wheel on each side of his rear wheel. He was going up the steep road when he has to stop to allow the incoming cars to pass first. As he was about to accelerate and resume his journey, his bike somehow couldnt accumulate enough energy and power to move a single bit. It was merely enough for him and his bike to maintain his current position and not to roll down the road. O_o

I was weak, not knowing how i can help him, as i was driving in my own vehicle, a few cars behind. And at that split second, came a saviour!

A Chinese man who was in the nearby mamak stall, happened to see what was going on and came to his rescue. He pushed the Indian man's bike up the road, giving him the sufficient support for his vehicle to move slowly. When they were at the top of the road, he was given thumbs up by everyone including the Indian man. *applause*

This shows how helpful our multi-racial community is, at least in my residential area. I am so proud of him. ^_^

But i guess these good deeds from the few samaritans can never balance out the number of crimes happened in the country. Let us pray for the better. *cross-finger*
