He always fretted whenever he saw his passengers who were caught in the rain run into the air-conditioned bus.
They could catch a cold and fall sick, SBS Transit bus captain Kamarul often thought.
Five months ago, he chose to do something about that.
Mr Kamarul, who has been driving for about a year, would stand between the bus and bus stop with an umbrella to shelter those without one.
His kind acts warmed the hearts of those he helped as well as witnesses, who shared it on SongHe’s Good Man Good Deeds Good Rice Facebook page.
In an interview with Lianhe Wanbao in September, Mr Kamarul, 29, said he was inspired by his mother’s advice.
“My mother once met a kind bus captain who alighted from the bus to help carry her shopping bag after he noticed how heavy it was,” said Mr Kamarul.
“When she found out I was going to become a bus captain too, she reminded me to be patient with the passengers and help whenever I can.”
He added: “If my passengers can benefit from that little action of mine, why not?”
