"To me, my family is very important as whenever I look at their pictures when I’m speeding or rushing to a destination, I remind myself to slow down to safely reach my destination.
"Their pictures serve as a reminder to me to always be responsible and be a safe rider so that I can safely go back to them," the 32-year-old was quoted as saying.
By sticking their pictures on his delivery carrier bag, Khairil said that it gives him the boost and motivation to earn an income to support his family.
