Stop the hate, netizen's post about helpful LTA officer goes viral

To counter all that negativity following news of a Land Transport Authority officer getting into a fight with an Uber driver last Friday night, netizen Kevin Tan thought he'd post something nice about the transport agency. To sum up his "beautiful experience" with LTA in six words: Officer helped change his flat tyre. Tan was on Marina Gardens Drive when he realised that he had a flat tyre on his rear wheel. "I was literally facing oncoming traffic while I started the change," he shared in a Facebook that's been shared 804 times as of this writing."The most unlikely of heroes came by, on an LTA bike. The officer stopped right beside me and asked if I needed any assistance. Concerned for my safety, I asked if he could just help avert oncoming traffic with his bike and blinkers," he continued. The officer, Khairul Nizam, went beyond the call of duty. He helped Tan change the wheel, without being asked at all. "With his help, the whole backbreaking process only took 15 mins," said Tan. Time to pay it forward, Kevin. Photo: Kevin Tan via Facebook
