Sharjah taxi driver returns bag with Dh1.7 million

  SHARJAH – When taxi driver Nassiballah Sheer found a bag containing more than a million dirhams that a passenger left behind, he only had one thought in mind: return it. Sheer, who works for a Sharjah-based taxi company, found a medium-sized bag with money totaling Dh1.7 million. There were also other documents inside, which helped the taxi driver identify the owner—a Korean businessman who was his passenger from the Sharjah International Airport. Sheer immediately headed to Sharjah’s Roads and Transport Authority office at the airport to hand over the bag. Sharjah police were able to find the Korean businessman within a few hours and return the bag to him. Police also honoured the Pakistani driver for his honesty. “We are always keen to honour and recognise good drivers since we always care about our employees and like to promote positive behaviour among them,” said Abdulaziz Al Jarwan, Director of Sharjah RTA’s Transport Affairs. Al Jarwan said that 265 taxi drivers have recently been honoured for their good performance and were given a total of Dh310,000 in cash prizes.JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyJTJGJTJGcGFnZWFkMi5nb29nbGVzeW5kaWNhdGlvbi5jb20lMkZwYWdlYWQlMkZqcyUyRmFkc2J5Z29vZ2xlLmpzJTIyJTIwYXN5bmMlM0QlMjIlMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0UlMEElMjAlM0MlMjEtLSUyMGluLWFydGljbGUlMjBhZCUyMC0tJTNFJTBBJTIwJTNDaW5zJTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJhZHNieWdvb2dsZSUyMiUyMHN0eWxlJTNEJTIyZGlzcGxheSUzQSUyMGJsb2NrJTNCJTIyJTIwZGF0YS1hZC1jbGllbnQlM0QlMjJjYS1wdWItNTAwNjI0MTU4MzU4MTg0OSUyMiUyMGRhdGEtYWQtc2xvdCUzRCUyMjg1MjYwOTM2MTElMjIlMjBkYXRhLWFkLWZvcm1hdCUzRCUyMmF1dG8lMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZpbnMlM0UlMEElM0NzY3JpcHQlM0UlMkYlMkYlMjAlM0MlMjElNUJDREFUQSU1QiUwQSUyOGFkc2J5Z29vZ2xlJTIwJTNEJTIwd2luZG93LmFkc2J5Z29vZ2xlJTIwJTdDJTdDJTIwJTVCJTVEJTI5LnB1c2glMjglN0IlN0QlMjklM0IlMEElMkYlMkYlMjAlNUQlNUQlM0UlM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0UlMEE=
