This story is about a heroic M’sian food delivery rider whose quick thinking saved an elderly man from a silent heart attack.
Late one night in Kuala Lumpur, Firdaus Aswan, a food delivery rider, was making his way to complete an order when he noticed an elderly man sitting by the roadside.
The man appeared pale, disoriented, and visibly struggling to breathe. While most passersby might not have thought twice about the situation, Firdaus immediately sensed that something was wrong.
“He was having trouble breathing and looked confused. I felt it was serious, like a heart attack,” Firdaus recounted.
Without delay, he stopped his motorcycle, approached the elderly man, and checked on his condition. Realizing the severity of the situation, he quickly dialed for an ambulance.

Prioritizing Humanity Over Delivery
As a food delivery rider, Firdaus was expected to prioritize fulfilling customer orders on time. However, in that moment, he decided that his responsibility to care for a fellow human being was far greater.
Firdaus canceled his delivery order to fully focus on assisting the elderly man as it was heavily raining.
“I had to record the whole process to prove that I did not cancel the order casually,” shared Firdaus.
While waiting for the ambulance, Firdaus remained by the man’s side, offering words of comfort and reassurance.
He encouraged him to stay awake and calm, knowing that panic could worsen his condition.
Once the ambulance arrived, Firdaus stayed with the paramedics, ensuring that the elderly man was in safe hands before they transported him to the hospital.

A Call for Awareness and Kindness
