'I earn a living for my family, I won't take what isn't mine'
MELAKA: A gold bracelet worth about RM15,000 could have been a windfall for a gardener, but Tengku Andy Asmawi Tengku Ahamad chose to do what he believed was right and return it to its owner.
MELAKA: A jeweler found a gold bracelet worth approximately RM15,000 while cleaning at the Maritime Museum in Banda Hilir. Instead of keeping the valuable item, the 28-year-old gardener, Tengku Andy Asmawi Tengku Ahamad, returned it to the museum authorities. The young man emphasized that his priority was fulfilling his duty as a worker rather than the bracelet's monetary value.
Tengku Andy explained that he was merely doing his job when he discovered the gold bracelet, and his primary concern was adhering to his responsibilities. He made clear that the bracelet did not belong to him, and therefore, it needed to be returned to its rightful owner. The gardener, who previously worked at Wisma Negeri Terengganu, moved to Melaka to join the museum's gardening team to be closer to his family, consisting of his wife and two young children.
