Caring cop puts ‘white flag’ single mum in line for aid

[superadmin]

MELAKA: Aid has been pouring in for a single mother and her four children after a caring policeman on patrol duty highlighted their plight on noticing a white flag hanging from their house.

Nor Waheda A Rahim, 40, said the policeman relayed information to the public, including non-governmental organisations, to channel aid to her.

“I had to seek help this way (by hanging the white flag) and Alhamdulillah for the caring nature of the policeman, so much so that many people came forward to provide us with aid, including from the elected representative and the Melaka Chief Minister’s Office.

“Thank you so much to the policeman for patrolling our housing area and noticing the white flag at my house,” said Nor Waheda, who works at a stall selling kuih, when met at her home.

Nor Waheda, who lives in Batu Berendam here, said she decided to put aside the embarrassment of hanging the white flag so as to ensure her four children, aged between two and 15, would not go hungry.
