JOHOR BARU: A video showing a Johor traffic policeman on his knees clearing a clogged roadside drain during a flash flood has drawn widespread praise from netizens for his selfless act in the name of public safety.
The cop, attached to the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division of the Johor Baru (South) district police headquarters, was seen kneeling in floodwaters using his bare hands to remove debris from the blocked outlet.
The incident occurred yesterday following heavy rain which caused a stretch of road in the city to flood.
The video, uploaded to the district police's official Facebook page, has since gone viral, with social media users commending the policeman's quick thinking and compassion.
Many hailed the act as an outstanding display of commitment that went beyond the call of duty.
"Despite the rain and rising floodwaters, the policeman took it upon himself — out of care and responsibility — to ensure the safety and comfort of road users," read one comment.
"His swift action not only prevented potential accidents but also helped restore traffic flow in the affected area," another user wrote.
"This is the kind of dedication we salute… a reminder that the police are here not just to enforce the law, but to protect the public, come rain or shine," said another.

AHMEDABAD: At least 18 people have died since Monday as torrential rains lashed parts of India’s western Gujarat, state officials said.
Disaster response teams have been deployed to help residents in the south of the state, who are bracing for more heavy monsoon rainfall.
“Eighteen people have lost their lives in rain-related incidents, while dozens have been rescued across low-lying areas by disaster response teams,“ the state government said late Tuesday.
The worst-hit areas included Palitana and Jesar towns, which on Tuesday registered 867 millimetres (34 inches) of rain over the past 24 hours.
State relief commissioner Alok Kumar Pandey said the 18 deaths were the result of storms, lightning strikes, and structural collapses due to rough weather.
“The state is fully geared to handle the situation, and inter-departmental coordination is being intensified to ensure swift relief and rescue operations,“ Pandey said.
Those rescued included 18 farm labourers who were trapped in mango orchards in the Gadhada area, and 22 people in Surendranagar district where waters from an overflowing river gushed into their homes.
India’s annual monsoon season from June to September offers respite from the intense summer heat and is crucial for replenishing water supplies.
But scores of people die each year during the rainy season due to flash floods and landslides across India, a country of 1.4 billion people.
NEW DELHI: Sekurang-kurangnya 18 maut sejak Isnin, apabila hujan lebat melanda beberapa kawasan di negeri Gujarat, barat India.
Pasukan tindak balas bencana dikerahkan untuk membantu penduduk di selatan negeri itu, yang kini bersiap sedia menghadapi lebih banyak hujan lebat monsun.
“Sebanyak 18 orang terkorban dalam insiden berkaitan hujan, manakala puluhan lagi diselamatkan di seluruh kawasan rendah oleh pasukan tindak balas bencana,” kata kerajaan negeri dalam satu kenyataan, semalam.
Kawasan paling teruk terjejas termasuk bandar Palitana dan Jesar, yang mencatatkan 867 milimeter hujan dalam tempoh 24 jam lalu.
Pesuruhjaya Bantuan Negeri, Alok Kumar Pandey berkata, 18 kematian itu berpunca daripada ribut, panahan petir dan runtuhan struktur akibat cuaca buruk.
“Negeri ini bersedia sepenuhnya untuk menangani situasi, dan penyelarasan antara jabatan sedang dipergiatkan bagi memastikan operasi bantuan dan menyelamat dijalankan dengan pantas,” kata Pandey.
Musim monsun tahunan di India yang berlaku pada Jun hingga September memberikan kelegaan daripada cuaca panas melampau dan tempoh penting untuk menambah bekalan air.
Namun, setiap tahun puluhan nyawa terkorban sepanjang musim hujan akibat banjir kilat dan tanah runtuh di seluruh India, yang mempunyai 1.4 bilion penduduk.- AFP
