When Mr Muhammad and his fellow Naomi crew members saw a man on the burning tugboat Chumphon waving at them, they managed to reach him and pull him away from the wreck.
He was only wearing a sarong when he heard a knock on the door. And when he learnt that there was a fire, he had no qualms about running out wearing just that.
Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers rescued three people who were trapped in a burning three-room flat in Block 619, Hougang Avenue 8 yesterday.
