“We are really appreciative of his loyalty to the company and his honesty. They are well-trained and know what to do and they don’t want to take the risk of taking such a big amount (of money),” said Hardeep.

Dawa, who has been working for A5 Security Service for four years, said he was just doing his job and fulfilling his responsibility.

“When I found the bag, I didn’t feel scared because we were trained by the company and I knew it was my responsibility. I didn’t even think about the amount of money in the bag. I just did my job,” he said at an interview on Friday (March 22).

On Wednesday, a suitcase containing over RM500,000 cash in RM10, RM50 and RM100 denominations was found at a shopping centre in Damansara and handed over to the police.
