In an exhibition of courage, Malaysian tourist Fara Putri Murani rescued a local man from his own death at Diyarma Falls in Sri Lanka. The incident happened when a man swimming in a waterfall accidentally challenged the deep edge and began to struggle to float. His tormented friend cried out for help, but nearby was Ms Murani, who quickly took action.
The rescue video shows her jumping into the water and swimming towards the man. When they reached the coast, the men's friends kept him away from the water and shook him, but thanked Ms. Mulani for her quick thinking and selflessness.
Ms Mulyani later shared a video on social media, recounting her experiences and warned others about the potential dangers lurking beneath the surface of the waterfall.
In the video, she said, “This incident completely changed the focus of my trip. I realized that I need to be aware of the potential dangers of waterfalls. Swimming, especially you are not a strong swimmer. If that's more dangerous.
Here's the video:
