Auckland – Harman Singh made international headlines when he used his turban to cradle the head of Daejon Pahia, 6, who had been hit by a car.
Harman is an international student in Auckland studying a business course. He said he was overwhelmed with all the praise and didn’t think twice about helping the little boy.
When Seven Sharp went to meet Mr Singh and congratulate him on his heroic deed, many viewers commented on his lack of furniture.
Simone from Tauranga emailed the programme, saying “it upsets us all to see such a lovely kind man living in such an empty home“.
Mr Singh’s flatmate Ravi and Lily from Big Save Furniture came on board to help fill Mr Singh’s house.
When a van pulled up outside Mr Singh’s house, he was speechless.
“We got you some furniture!” His flatmate yelled.
“A lounge suite, a bed and a coffee table, for all the good that you’ve done.”
Mr Singh emotionally accepted the gifts.
“Thank you, thanks a lot. I’m very happy.
“Is this… it’s the biggest surprise of my life.”
Turbans become a part of a Sikh’s body and are usually removed only in the privacy of their own house. Normally it is only in the most intimate of circumstances, when bathing the head, or washing the hair.
