Farman Ali Khan
The Pakistani karate champion Farman Ali Khan belongs to the group of fine
human beings who sacrifice their lives for the sake of others. Khan died
while trying to save the lives of 14 people in the Nov. 25 flash floods in
Jeddah.
The role of media in highlighting this story deserves to be applauded. We
expect the media to continue exploring such supreme acts of bravery and
sacrifice.
Let us take him as a role model and take a vow that we will do whatever is
possible to help those who become the victims of natural and man-made
disasters.
Often the work of such people eludes recognition. It is the duty of
governmental organizations and NGOs to recognize such acts of bravery and
honor them posthumously. We hope the karate champion's name will be
considered for a bravery award and the needs of his children and family will
be taken care of. This is the best way to pay homage to his memory.

JEDDAH: A Pakistani karate champion who saved the lives of 14 people in the
Nov. 25 flashfloods before drowning while trying to save another is one of
the many unsung heroes of that fateful morning.
According to a report carried by Al-Hayat Arabic daily, Farman Ali Khans
brother, Rahman, is making arrangements to airlift his body to Pakistan so
that his family, including his three young daughters, would see him before
his funeral.
Farmans youngest daughter Jarira has never seen her father, Rahman told
Al-Hayat, adding that his 32-year-old brother was a university graduate and
held several certificates commending him for his voluntary work.
