Pakistan’s Abdul Ghafoor wins heart of Dubai Crown Prince with his good deed
Dubai Crown Prince will meet Pakistani expat Abdul Ghafoor Abdul Hakeem to thank him for his act of goodness after the man was seen removing two concrete bricks from a traffic junction in a viral video.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, took to his Instagram story to praise the rider’s quick thinking.
Sharing the viral video, Sheikh Hamdan said: “An act of goodness in Dubai to be praised. Can someone point me to this man?”
The Prince then informed his social media followers that the “good man” had been found. “Thank you, Abdul Ghafoor, you are one of a kind. We will meet soon!”
According to Khaleej Times, Abdul Hakeem was waiting at the intersection when he realised the danger the fallen blocks posed.
“I saw the blocks but didn’t really think much of it,” he had told Khaleej Times. “As I waited, a taxi went over the block and the driver almost lost control of his car. That is when I realised that it could cause a major accident,” he was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
