SINGAPORE- A 33-year-old Indian software engineer was among 16 people who saved a South Korean man pinned under a back wheel of a truck in Singapore, with authorities awarding them for their good samaritan work.
Asif Iqbal helped rescue 35-year-old Kim Seong Mo who was run over by a truck on July 23.
Asif crawled under the truck and joined a Filipino to help Kim out.

"We are all very amazed by the feat - that about 16 of you came together, without any formal coordination, lifted the trailer truck and pulled out a person in distress underneath," said Alan Chow, SCDF Division commander.
