perhaps those in position in MNCs or educational institutions can help to offer him a job or scholarship. if his ex-employer can invite him to join in a trip, he must be a good employee. <\/p>\n

Although he received many accolades for saving lives during the Seagull Express 2 ferry fire off Pulau Tioman recently, S. Krishna-moorthy remains unfazed by all the attention.  <\/p>\n

“I am too preoccupied with earning a decent living to allow all the praises to go to my head,” he said when met at his home in Pandamaran, Klang, recently.  <\/p>\n

According to the 19 year old, his main priority is to earn enough money to make payment on his family car and house.  <\/p>\n

“My two brothers Chandra-sekar, 20, Satyacelan, 17, and I offer wiring services and sometimes it’s quite a struggle as work is scarce these days,” added Krishnamoorthy.  <\/p>\n

The youth who dropped out of school after completing Form 1 is the third son in a family of three boys and two girls.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

"A good-paying job will help me ease my family’s burden" – S. KRISHNAMOORTHY<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

His sister Nagamah, 19, is jobless whilst the youngest Yogeswary, 15, is still in school.  <\/p>\n

Krishnamoorthy’s father B. Sandaran who works in a Tamil school and his factory worker mother P. Saroja take care of the family’s utility and food bills.  <\/p>\n

Krishnamoorthy hoped that the media highlight would help him get a job.  <\/p>\n

“That’s the best reward that I can receive as a good paying job will help me ease my family’s burden,” he added.  <\/p>\n

Krishnamoorthy found himself in the limelight after he selflessly handed life jackets to passengers and helped them off the burning ferry.  <\/p>\n

He had also ignored his own safety by repeatedly diving into the water to pull others to safety.  <\/p>\n

When asked what had prompted him to do so, Krishnamoorthy said it was due to compassion.  <\/p>\n

“I couldn’t just stand by and watch people struggling to get out of the water as well as get off the burning ferry,” said Krishna-moorthy who was there on a vacation with his former boss Phang Kee San and his family.  <\/p>\n
