PUTRAJAYA: "I adhere to the responsibility and trust given to me by the company," said a security guard who found a bag containing more than RM500,000 in cash in the vehicle parking area of a shopping center in Damansara, last Wednesday.
Sherpa Dawa, 39, a citizen of Nepal said he had been trained by the company to be responsible and not to think about the amount of money he found.

Meanwhile, Director of A5 Security Services, Hardeep Singh Jaswant, said the company really appreciated the attitude shown by Dawa.
"He is a great man and the company really appreciates what he has done and that is why we are rewarding him," he said on Facebook.
