FOR bravery and courage, a Bangladeshi expatriate has been honoured as he saved the life of a three-year-old boy in UAE. Bangladeshi expatriate Farouk, who works as a welder in Ajman of UAE, rescued the child thrown from the balcony of a burning apartment by his mother.
Bangladeshi community in the Arabian country is now flooded with a compliment for the bravery of Farouk. Such real hero, though rare, exists in the soul of Bangladeshi nationalism. The nation is also proud of Farouk, whose sense of humanity and courage should be our inspiration, while the government should also award such unsung hero who brightens the image of the country.
Farouk said when people were staring at the burning building he ran to the right spot in an instant, stretched out his arms, and caught the boy. Something in his mind urged to stand beneath the window where a woman was screaming. There was a massive crowd of people watching her, but no one thought of rescuing her. He wondered that inner spirit pushed him to save the woman and her child.
When a massive fire engulfed the three-storey building in Nuaimiah on Saturday night, thick and black smoke filled the flat in no time. As the boy had already started to suffocate, the mother could not find a way out except throwing her loving child through the window. For the bravery of Farouk, the mother and child were miraculously saved from the fire accident and for that, the man should be praised.
The soul of Bangladeshi people is classically full of kindness. Bangladeshi workers who toil for a decent life are highly neglected at home and abroad. After the incident, the government should improve diplomatic relation with UAE to reach a deal about workplace safety, a decent wage, and other logical facilities. Besides, we do urge the government to award Farouk and such other big hearts.
