SHAH ALAM – A viral video on Twitter of a child dressed in pyjamas, crying alone in the sweltering heat of a car caught the attention of twitterverse, this morning.
The video which was posted by @ Arif Ijat garnered attention as everyone reacted to the distressing scene, expressing their disbelief that a child had been left on his own in such circumstances.
According to reports, the young boy was left inside the vehicle by an adult, who had turned off the engine and left the front window slightly open.
What particularly struck a chord with Arif, was the fact that the child had been left alone in such scorching weather conditions.
"Take a look at this, I came across it earlier. A child sobbing in the car, drenched in sweat and turning pale due to the heat.
"And to top it off, the engine is switched off, with just a crack in the front window for ventilation.
"What kind of reasoning is behind leaving a defenseless child alone in a car during such intense heat?," Arif questioned.
In a subsequent post, Arif revealed that he waited anxiously for nearly 40 minutes, hoping that the owner of the vehicle would return.
However, his patience went unrewarded.
As a result, he decided to solicit assistance from concerned passersby who happened to be in the vicinity.
Driven by the dire circumstances, Arif took the brave step of breaking the car window to rescue the trapped child.
"For approximately 40 minutes, I was there waiting, yet neither parent appeared.
"Consequently, I sought help from those around me. I can now provide an update that the child is safe.
"We managed to shatter the window and swiftly took the child to a nearby clinic."
This incident underscores the importance of vigilance and responsible caregiving, especially in situations where a child's safety and well-being are at stake.
