It is not every day that we get to see heroes, let alone meet one! The people of Georgetown are sure lucky though, as there is a real-life hero living among them.
According to Harian Metro, two houses in Tanjong Bungah, Georgetown caught fire around 11:30am this morning (16th July 2019). A man who was nearby that area at that time saw the houses on fire and quickly ran into one of the houses to rescue a paralysed woman.
The man was then helped by the abang-abang bomba who came not long after.
Tanjung Bungah house on fire…hope no one is hurt.
