There are many such examples even here. Looking at how much they earn and the hard work they do and the money they found, they are more honest than all our politicians combined.


Here are just two:

Jamil Ahmed Khan, Pakistani ambassador to UAE, is seen presenting the certificate and memento to Pakistani taxi driver Umar Hayat Ajmal Khan, for showing exemplary honesty for returning the money of a passenger while on duty a few days ago in Dubai. The honoring ceremony took place at the Pakistani Embassy in Abu Dhabi yesterday. He retunrd a bag containing 123,000 Saudi riyals,(Dh120) and gold jewellery.

While on duty in Dubai, Umar Hayat Ajmal Khan, 27, from Peshwar, Pakistan, returned money left behind by passengers in his Metro Taxi. Khan, who has been living in Dubai for two years, picked up two Saudi passengers from Riqa Street in Dubai, at 3pm. They asked him to drop them off at Rolla Street in Sharjah. On his return from Sharjah, Khan noticed they had left something in the back seat.

Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of Dubai Roads and Transport Authority, honours Pakistani taxi driver Rameen Khan for his honesty. He returned 9.5 kg of gold and $40,000 (Dh146800) left by a passenger in his taxi.

The driver delivered the items to the company and the company management reported the matter to the case to the police.

The bag was given to the Naif Police Station, where it was handed over to its owner, a Chinese businessman.

Dubai Police return quarter of all lost property

Nearly a quarter of all electronics, documents, cash and jewellery turned in to or found by police last year have been returned to their owners.

Of more than 36,000 items found in 2012, nearly 9,000 were given back to the owners by the department, Dubai Police posted on its Twitter feed yesterday.

The most common items found were phones and electronics, which made more than half of all the items. Documents and bank cards were also prevalent, with more than 3,000 of the 8,000 found returned.

Next was cash, where there were more than 6,000 separate cases recorded. But less than 10 per cent of cash found its way back to its owner because it is more difficult to trace.

Jewellery was least likely to end up back with the original owner, with less than 4 per cent of items successfully returned.

Dubai Police has urged the public to report missing items within three months. After that all lost items go into a public auction.

Instructions on the Government of Dubai's website tell those who have lost important documents or valuables, or had them stolen, to notify police in person and they will issue a formal report if the items are not recovered in 48 hours.

The public can also visit Dubai Police's website to inquire about lost and found items, though this service is only available in Arabic.
