Cops, motorcyclist are netizens' heroes after saving monkey on highway

The action of traffic policemen and a motorcyclist in saving an injured 'kera' (macaque), believed to have been hit by a vehicle in the middle of a busy highway, resulted in them being called 'heroes' by netizens.

An almost two-minute video that has gone viral on social media, shared by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) official Facebook page, shows the macaque in a weak condition with blood on its body.

Despite its condition, it was fiercely avoiding from being lifted by the traffic policemen, who had stopped their patrol car in the middle of the highway to protect the animal.

Later, in the video, a motorcyclist was seen stopping to help, and he successfully caught the macaque, before crossing the road to release it to the woods nearby.

Many netizens left positive comments for the video including @Boqqbonk who said: You are true heroes. Congratulations. May Allah bless all of you.
