00:00 Can you come in?
00:02 Can you take a photo?
00:04 Come in, come in
00:05 How are you?
00:06 Bye bye
00:07 When K. Kitu started as a security guard at SK Bandar Baru Pucat in Ipoh, Perak six years ago
00:19 blending in wasn't easy
00:21 He looked different and many students were wary of him
00:25 Some even steered clear of him
00:28 It was difficult, I had to run
00:31 I had to run and look around
00:34 I looked like a black person
00:37 It was difficult to follow him
00:40 But K. Kitu made it his mission to connect with the students he was there to protect
00:45 I would wake up early in the morning
00:48 I would follow him to the canteen
00:51 I would ask if the food was good
00:54 He would run away after eating
00:56 I would stop and run
00:59 I would even tie him up
01:01 Slowly but surely, his friendly nature won them over
01:06 Now the students happily refer to him as uncle
01:10 When K. Kitu decided to move half an hour away to Klemang Pucat last year
01:14 the kids threw him a farewell party where they cried and hugged him goodbye
01:19 He was also showered with appreciative letters
01:22 all of which he carefully kept in a thick folder
01:25 [Music]
01:29 The kids would look at me and I would cry
01:33 I thought I would never come back here again
01:36 Luck struck when the school's parent-teacher association
01:39 offered to extend his contract a month after he left
01:43 K. Kitu gladly accepted the offer
01:45 even though it would now take him 30 minutes to get to the school
01:49 He was so close to the school
01:52 I never wanted to leave this place
01:55 I was like a child, I didn't like it here
01:58 I didn't want to break my promise to them
02:01 K. Kitu is not only loved by the students
02:04 but also their parents
02:06 We were all very sad when he left
02:10 It was a bit chaotic on his first day
02:14 He was in charge of the traffic in front of the school
02:19 It was a jam on the main road
02:22 The kids would come to pick him up
02:25 He would take care of the kids until the parents came
02:29 Student Nasrulah Abdul Sani said
02:32 he was devastated when K. Kitu left the school
02:35 K. Kitu was a good, gentle and polite student
02:40 When his classmates were late
02:44 K. Kitu would use his phone to call his parents
02:50 Rizki Ilman said K. Kitu has become a dear friend to him and his schoolmates
02:55 K. Kitu is very responsible in his work
02:59 He is a good friend
