MAKKAH: Who says it doesnt pay to be honest?
According to a report in a local newspaper on Thursday, being honest paid one Pakistani man SR20,000. Saleem Rasheed was washing and cleaning out a car when he happened upon a deed to a pricey piece of real estate. Instead of whisking the title away and misusing it, the man gave the important document back to the owner of the vehicle. Rasheed is one of the many Pakistanis whose work in the Kingdom provides a lifeline to family members back home. He had been working in the Kingdom as a laborer for 20 years and returned recently to Saudi Arabia because his family needed the SR700-a-month income he could earn. But thanks to his honesty, and the generosity of the Saudi owner of the vehicle, Rasheed was given a lump of money as an expression of thanks for his moral fortitude. When asked what he was going to do with the money, he said he would return to Pakistan and use it to start a small business.
