  "account": "A TikTok user commended a group of students from Beatty Secondary School for returning a lost wallet to him, intact, and tracking him down using the information on his National Registration Identity Card (NRIC). The students caught his attention on a bus through CCTV footage shared on the social media platform. In the video, three male students were seen outside a flat, attempting to locate the wallet's owner by knocking on the door and ringing the bell, but no one answered. One of the students suggested showing the wallet to someone monitoring the camera, and another held the wallet while raising it towards the camera. The student assured the owner that the wallet contained all of its contents and expressed no intention of stealing. The owner responded over the intercom, confirming that the students had tracked him down using his NRIC address. The TikTok user expressed his gratitude in the video caption, praising the students for their honesty and kindness, which restored his faith in young people. The man also noted that the students' actions served as an example of responsible behavior for their peers and the wider community. Netizens also praised the students in the comments, commending their upbringing.",
