You make me trust Singapore: Thai businessman thanks SMRT train captain for returning lost wallet

"Could you imagine, losing wallet, credit cards and other necessary belongings overseas upon arrival - and a serious meeting is waiting for you in the next hour," he wrote.
SMRT told The Straits Times on Friday that the train captain in question is Mr Muhammad Faisal Mohd Yusoff, who has been with SMRT Trains for four years.
Mr Natthapon said Mr Faisal's actions made his day and "the whole trip became wonderful".
"In addition, you make me really trust the country of Singapore," he added.
Responding to to Mr Natthapon's Facebook post, SMRT thanked him for taking the time to share his appreciation for Mr Faisal.
Several netizens praised the train captain, including Facebook user Cheong Kit, who wrote: "Mr Sai Yusoff, all Singaporeans are very proud of you! Well done!"
