#NSTviral: Man earns praise online after returning wallet that fell from car
KUALA LUMPUR: A man nearly lost his wallet after accidentally leaving it on the roof of his car while refueling at a petrol station in Section 7, Shah Alam, on Sunday.
According to his wife, the incident occurred shortly after the couple had driven about 500 metres from the station when they realised the wallet was missing.
"After driving for about 500 metres, we noticed the wallet was gone. We immediately made a U-turn and checked the dashcam footage.
"It showed the wallet flying off onto the road," she shared in a post on the Thread platform.
However, by the time they returned to the spot, the wallet was no longer there.
To their surprise, a kind-hearted stranger had found the wallet and took it upon himself to deliver it to the address listed on the owner's identification card.
It is understood that when the stranger arrived at the man's house to deliver the wallet, his parents, who were at home, were unaware of the visitor.
Fortunately, a neighbour who noticed the situation stepped in to collect the wallet and later returned it to the family.
The incident has since drawn praise online, with many commending the anonymous individual for his honesty and initiative.
Much to everyone's delight, a Thread user who introduced himself as Fitri admitted to being the person responsible for the wallet's safe return, earning him thanks and prayers from netizens.
"I'm Fitri... I'm the one who found your husband's wallet. I handed it over to the neighbour in front of your house because I called out, but no one was home.
"Then I informed the surau congregation in your neighbourhood. Earlier, at around 9pm, I came to your house to check if you or your husband had received the wallet, as I was worried there were many valuable items inside," he said on Thread.

Ajit Pawar starts cooking for 2029 Maharashtra Polls with sugar politics plunge
(You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has been intensely campaigning in Baramati for the Malegaon cooperative sugar mill elections, where he and his ' Nilkanteshwar Panel ' are contesting all 21 seats, with Pawar himself vying for the Chairman's post. This aggressive canvassing, involving 15 rallies and meetings and a changed schedule, has drawn attention as Pawar is contesting a sugar cooperative poll after nearly 40 contest is being widely seen as more than just a cooperative election, potentially offering a glimpse into the political landscape of Maharashtra's 2029 Assembly polls. Ajit Pawar's panel faces the ' Sahakar Bachao Shetkari Panel ' led by BJP's Chandrarao Taware. Despite being allies, the BJP has not pressed Taware to withdraw, nor has it fully supported Pawar in this contest. Taware asserts the contest is non-political and purely for farmers' interests, but observers in and around Baramati interpret it differently."This is the only sugar factory that is within Baramati, while there may be just 19,600 voters, if you count their family members then it comes to more than a lakh, then this cooperative also runs several educational institutions from KG to B pharmacy, MBA everything is taught in these institutions. If you count the students studying in it and their families, then this sugar mill directly impacts several lakhs of people within Baramati. With Taware being in the BJP, dada is not keen to have a BJP member control a key sugar cooperative that could influence politics in Baramati in future," said an NCP party functionary from 'future' here refers to the 2029 Maharashtra Assembly polls. Following their 133-seat win in the 2024 assembly elections, there's internal BJP discussion about contesting over 180 seats in the next polls. With 288 total seats in the Maharashtra assembly, this ambition would leave only 108 seats for their allies, NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) and Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), a division neither would likely accept. "There is surely going to be a conflict within the alliance over the seats, as the BJP looks to play the big brother. At least one of its two allies may not be happy with the allocation of seats and may want to contest separately, what the BJP is doing now is to make inroads in their bastion in order to unsettle them in advance," said an unnamed political observer.

Israeli hostage remains recovered, Netanyahu confirms
People react as they gather to watch a live stream reporting on the release of Israeli-American soldier hostage Edan Alexander, in hostages square outside the Kirya military base in Tel Aviv, Israel, in May. File photo Abir Sultan/EPA-EFE June 22 (UPI) -- The bodies of three Israeli hostages have been recovered from the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Yonatan Samrano, Ofra Keidar and Staff Sgt. Shai Levinson's remains were retrieved Saturday as part of a military operation. Keidar, 71, was killed at a kibbutz and her remains were taken into Gaza. Levinson, who engaged in the Oct. 7th attack, was 19 at the time of this death, according to the IDF. Samerano's remains were discovered by the Israeli army. "I thank our commanders and fighters for a successful operation, for their determination and courage," Netanyahu said following the return of the remains. The Israel Defense Forces has recovered a total of eight bodies from Gaza this month as the latest battle between the two adversaries ignited on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a cross-border attack on Israel, killing more than 1,200 people and taking 251 others hostage. The return of the hostage remains comes amid a U.S. attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities Sunday, which bolsters Israel's efforts to cripple Iran's nuclear ambitions. Israel has recently started its own attacks on Iran. "The campaign to return the abductees continues continuously and is taking place in parallel with the campaign against Iran," Netanyahu continued. "We will not rest until we return all our abductees home -- both the living and the dead." The IDF did not say where the remains were recovered.
