Heartwarming to see civil servants doing their jobs well

A police officer helping an elderly person cross the road is a textbook example of a compassionate, righteous civil servant. These 2 police officers certainly deserve the praise they’re getting for helping the elderly man out.

With everyone’s focus on the medical professionals at the forefront of the novel coronavirus battle, people tend to forget about other civil servants like these police officers who work just as hard to keep our country safe.

Let’s take this as a reminder to appreciate all civil servants who uphold the foundation of society. Their efforts deserve this much commendation and recognition all the time.
