The Accidental Hero

I was supposed to be attending my friends wedding at Sg Siput. Unfortunately, my hospitalized grandma comes first in this horse race.

I drove down to Batu Pahat along with emok and Azmi. The house was lively like Hari Raya. Grandma is fine. The hospital discharged her yesterday and warned about her alarming cholesterol level. Not an easy task for someone who doesn’t like eating from others’ wok.

MyVi Frontal Tyre

On the way back, we witnessed a horrid accident, involving MyVi and Saga. One ended in the ditch, the other toppled in the middle of the road. I parked the car and ran towards the incident.

From a far, I saw villagers helping victims out of the car. I queried about the car in the ditch. Apparently, no one was lending them a hand.

Azmi and me ran to the ditch and saw a family panicked, knocking on their window screaming for help. I quickly jumped on the side of the car, examining the quickest and safest way out. The husband insist I break the class. I tried, but ended up wounding myself.

*flick flock, flick flock* The sound of malfunction centralized lock.

I pulled the door lever as hard as I could. God willed, the door opened vertically. I helped the family out, all three of them. The wife and toddler was crying endlessly while the husband remained composed.

Standing position

Now the crowd starts to gather, it’s hard to perform simple medical check-up. They were asking questions about the accidents, telling me to do this, that, most importantly they were circling us like we’re some freak show.

Thankfully, the crowd abide to my demand for ample breathing space and getting additional help. I also told them to refrain from asking victims for flashback.

Another angle

A few minutes later, we embarked on our journey back to our busy lives.

I’m sure if you were in this position, you would’ve done the same thing, maybe better.

ps: Sleep deprived! Help me~    :arrow:

pss: It felt really good, saving 3 lives   :evil:

psss: Congratulations to Fidzamil Basarudin and Wan Kamarul “Toyon” Ariffin. My turn? Tunggu/Cari doc.

pssss: Be safe on the road. The road is not your playground.

Accidental hero… not likely.. like you said, there were many ‘flies’ around busy watching but not helping.

Proud of you bro! You didn’t break the glass and injured yourself no? Hopefully it’s not too bad eh.. Glad the family is safe.

Becareful on the road, yeah!

This is a prove that Noktah Hitam isn’t as wicked as he claimed.

ps: I felt really good… Malaysia still full of people who cares about others.

pss: Who actually the hero? NH, Eddie or Edwin?

i rase, keadaan jln pn ade gak menyumbang kpd accident tu.
u msti perasan, jln kg kecik kan?
pastu tepi2 die terus dh ade parit.
klu drive xhati2, sure terhumban!
:roll:

i cemas je klu my dad drive lalu jalan2 kg.
sbb tepi die ade parit.
lg2 klu ade kete dr arah bertentangan.
:eek:

btw, that was very nice of you.
2 thumbs up!

Kudos to you for doing the right thing! It feels wrong that nobody was helping the family who was trapped in the car lying by it’s side. I don’t know what happened exactly but if they are people attending to the victims in the other vehicle, why was the victims in the other car neglected? If I were you, I would have been miffed that the crowd only gathered and didn’t bother to help – it’s just so Malaysia. Back then when I was in primary school a massive traffic jam on Federal Highway means there’s a minor accident down the highway and it might be even in the opposite direction – curious drivers were unwilling to speed up since they’ve paid the price of ‘waiting in line’ to get to see what actually happened. Haha.

I salute you for your bravery and help. Not everyone will actually do what you’ve done ;) oh and anyway, I hope your hand is okay! Ouchie!

Not all people are bold enough to start giving help. Most of us usually waiting others to start it first before being followed. Talk is easy, but not the actions. Especially “our people”.

Congratulations eddie! :up: :up: :up:
