Highest Saudi award for a Pakistani hero


 Highes

 RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah has hounoured a Pakistani who had laid his life to save 14 others from drowning during torrential rains/flooding in Jeddah back in 2009, Geo News reported.

Saudi government has, posthumously, not only bestowed the highest civil award on Farman Ali but also named a highway after him.

This valourous countryman who has now come under a heroic spotlight forever is a martyr as he during those drastic floods gave life to as many as 14 of his fellow countryman but lost his own in the end.

Farman comes from Swat and has left behind a widow and three daughters.
