SINGAPORE - When he found himself at the tail-end of a National Day mobile column in Woodlands Avenue 3 on Sunday , Foodpanda delivery rider Abdul Rahman waved at residents and received a loud cheer.

He was an auxiliary police officer for a few years but had left the profession because he did not want to continue working night shifts. Many on YouTube had described him as a hero. One even wrote:"Without unsung heroes like him, I would have starved during the circuit breaker period." The roads covered by the five mobile columns were closed on a rolling basis and reopened to traffic once the column passed. Motorists were advised to avoid the routes until the end of the segment at 1.20pm.

He followed the contingent for about 10 minutes, waving to the crowd enthusiastically, a spontaneous decision propelled by his easygoing nature. On Sunday, the northern route of the mobile column - comprising about 13 vehicles from the Singapore Police Force, Singapore Armed Forces and Singapore Civil Defence Force - travelled from Khatib to Sembawang.
