A Grab Driver Travelled Over 200KM To Return A Wallet That His Passenger Left In His Car

The passenger, 31-year-old Carney Mak, posted in the Johor Bahru Traffic, Crime, and Community Service Report (JB TRACER) Facebook group to express his gratitude towards his kind Grab driver, Sateesh Karuppusam.

According to China Press, Mak said that he did not sense anything amiss until he was about to make payment for dinner.

Working quickly, he reported his misplaced wallet to Grab while heading back to Singapore.

Although it was already past midnight, Sateesh called Mak again to inform him that he had found the wallet in the backseat.

The two agreed to meet at the Caltex petrol station in Johor Bahru Sentral the next day, even though Sateesh was to travel over 200km from Melaka.

Not only did Sateesh deliver his wallet to him in the exact state he left it, with all his cards and few hundred dollars intact, Sateesh told him that he continued to pick up other passengers that day.

"No one saw the wallet or took it," Mak told China Press, "I feel very lucky."

"Don't forget a token of appreciation," said a Facebook user, "Don't only post, it doesn't feed his family. I would have given him whatever cash I had in my wallet for his troubles because redoing identity cards and credit cards would cost time and money."

Although not confirmed, a netizen commented that Sateesh and his family were invited for a week-long stay in a hotel in Singapore, all paid for by Mak and his family.
