Remember the Sikh guy from Auckland, New Zealand who took the social media by storm last week after he removed his turban to help a young boy who was bleeding profusely from his head after an accident.

 22-year-old Harman Singh had no reservations about his own uncovered head as he swiftly moved in to cover the wounds of a young Daejon Pahia. He had then told the Good News Network, “I wasn’t thinking about the turban. I was thinking about the accident and I just thought, ‘He needs something on his head because he’s bleeding.’ And I think anyone else would have done the same as me.”

 Harman later met the boy at a local hospital too. Here, Harman was showered with gifts and gratitude from Daejon's family.

 They say that good deeds never go unrewarded and in his case that saying just came to fruition. When a local TV crew interviewed Mr Singh following the incident at his apartment they noticed a lack of furnishings. They were also touched by Harman's humility when he said that it is his religious that is really famous and not him. 
 
 Spurred by viewer comments the station’s staff then decided to work together with a local furniture story to surprise Harman with a new bed, sofa, chair and coffee table. 
 
 A tearful Harman then told the network officials that this was the best suprise he ever got in his life. 
 
 Watch this video by TVNZ which shows how they thanked Harman in a very special way:

 Federal Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains says he has accepted an apology from U.S. officials after he was asked by airport security in Detroit to remove his turban. 
 
 Bains, who is Sikh, says that wearing a turban is “one of the most dutiful acts for a person of the faith,” and that being told to take it off was “frustrating” and “awkward.” 
 
 He told reporters in Toronto on Thursday that he had made it to the gate while boarding his flight in April, 2017 when he was asked to remove the turban. He did not comply. 
 
 Bains had already gone through additional security screen, as per U.S. policy that allows Sikhs to keep their turbans on during airport checks. 
 
 “Once they realized my position, who I was, I was ultimately allowed to fly,” Bains said. 
 
 “But for me, this is an issue that I think speaks to discrimination, and discrimination happens to many people,” he added. “I’m in a very fortunate position to talk about it.” 
 
 “I understand how important security is,” Bains said, “but proper process needs to be followed.” 
 
 Bains added that he has travelled to the U.S. and internationally many times and had never before been asked to remove his turban. 
 
 While Bains, as a member of federal cabinet, carries a special diplomatic passport, his office said he did not use his status or show the passport until he was asked by a supervisor to confirm his identity. 
 
 Following the incident, Foreign Affairs officials spoke with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Administration. It was concluded that the way security officials acted towards Bains was against protocol, and the Americans have apologized, according to Bains’ office. 
 
 Has happened to Sajjan in Canada 
 
 On CTV’s Power Play, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said he has also experienced similar encounters at airports, including in Canada. 
 
 "I've actually had it in Canada," Sajjan said, noting it’s not an issue exclusive to the U.S., and that he’s gone through the U.S. system smoothly. 
 
 "We have a position and a title right now, but it shouldn’t be that you need a title to have answers or to be treated in a certain way. All Canadians should have been given the same respect," he said. 
 
 Transport Minister Marc Garneau was asked about similar incidents happening in Canada and said that they "make sure" that Canadian airport security officials "respect the rules that apply in the case of turbans, but at the same time, take care of ensuring that security is covered." 
 
 With a report from CTV News’ Michel Boyer
– Harman Singh is a devout Sikh, meaning his turban stays on his head at all times when he's not in the privacy of his own home. But Singh broke religious protocol earlier this month when 5-year-old Daejon Pahia was hit by a car in Auckland, New Zealand. The 22-year-old rushed into the street and took his turban off to cushion the child's bleeding head, and the photo of him doing so went viral, the Telegraph reports. The public started bombarding social media with praise and thanks for Singh, even though he noted that emergency situations took priority over his religion's headgear mandate. "I wasn't thinking about the turban," he says, per the New Zealand Herald. "I just thought, 'He needs something on his head because he's bleeding.' That's my job—to help. And I think anyone else would have done the same as me." Whether or not that's true, some wanted to repay Singh for his charitable act. When a local news crew went to his home to interview him about the incident, they noticed his spare living conditions, the India Times reports. The TV station teamed up with a nearby furniture store and and surprised Singh with a second visit, pulling up in a van stocked with a new bed, coffee table, and sofa set. Singh was so surprised that he started crying, as did the station interviewer and the furniture rep. "Thank you, thanks a lot. I'm very happy," he says in the video documenting the delivery. Meanwhile, little Daejon is expected to make a full recovery despite suffering a serious head injury and kidney lacerations. (Some people mix up Sikhs and Muslims—but they're both targets of bigotry, a prominent Sikh says.)
