KLANG – Klang Royal City Council (MBDK) notice delivery officer Meganathan Ariginam, who suffered trauma after witnessing a fatal accident along Jalan Raya Barat here recently, has received financial assistance to help ease his burden. The contribution was presented by MBDK Mayor Datuk Abd Hamid Hussain as a gesture of concern for the welfare of an employee affected by the incident. According to Abd Hamid, Meganathan’s actions during the emergency reflected his compassion and concern for the safety of others. Meganathan previously attracted public attention after slowing down his vehicle to prevent an accident victim, who had been thrown onto the roof of his car, from falling onto the road. In the incident, the victim, Amirul Hafiz Omar, died after the motorcycle he was riding was struck by a car driven by a man believed to have been under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The incident left Meganathan deeply traumatised, affecting his sleep and causing him to develop a fear of driving. Apart from experiencing emotional distress, Meganathan also faced financial difficulties after his Perodua Myvi sustained damage, as the vehicle was only covered by third-party insurance. Meanwhile, MBDK expressed hope that the contribution would help ease Meganathan’s financial burden while providing him with moral support as he copes with the difficult situation. |
