PETALING JAYA: A 65-year-old man was killed in a freak accident while doing what came naturally to him, being a Good Samaritan.
Petrol pump attendant Malek Jamaluddin, 67, was struggling to get his car running when Quah went to his aid at about 6.40pm. He had one leg on the accelerator and the other on the road when his car suddenly burst into reverse. Malek and passers-by tried in vain to revive him while waiting for an ambulance to take him to Hospital Serdang.A dejected Malek, who recounted the incident yesterday, said he was saddened by the death of a “kind man” who unselfishly offered to help him.Malek said he felt guilty and went to Quah’s wake on Saturday to apologise to his family but was instead consoled by everyone.
