Honours and praises are pouring in for Jawaher Saif Al Kumaiti, the 22-year-old Emirati woman who rescued a burning Asian driver by using an abaya on Martyr's Road in Ras Al Khaimah (read detailed report here).
Saluting the lady's bravery, RAK civil defence director general Brigadier Mohammed Abdullah Al Zaabi honoured Jawaher and her father at the headquarters of the department.
"What you have done Jawaher speaks volumes about kindness and truly reflects the human values of sacrifice, dignity and commitment," he said. "Your timely and swift action helped save the life of the driver on fire."
As an acknowledgement of her brave act, the RAK civil defence department has installed smoke detectors in her house. "This is the least we could do to thank your heroic act," Brig. Zaabi said.
Meanwhile, UAE interior minister Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan has also ordered to honour Jawaher.
The Ras Al Khaimah Police have already honoured Jawaher for her selfless action that saved a life. Brigadier Abdullah Khamis Al Hadidi, deputy chief commandant of the RAK Police, met her and her father at the police headquarters and expressed appreciation for her quick thinking and promptness.
Khaleej Times readers, as well as the Indian embassy in Abu Dhabi, have also commended Jawaher.
