If you have started losing faith in the humanity of Singaporeans, let this nice little heart-warming story fill your soul with hope again.

Five months ago, a police officer-turned-cabby Tong Ming Ming (above), 34, donated 70 percent of his liver to a complete stranger he had no idea existed at all -- until he so happened to read on Facebook about an urgent plea for an organ donor to step forward.

And he gladly volunteered.

The most amazing thing? Liver donations are not even that common in Singapore.

First it is fairly miraculous to find a matching donor at such short notice out of the blue.

Then one has to jump through hoops by an ethical committee which has to assess each case individually.

This is to make sure no money changes hands. And no one is ever forced to give up an organ. Especially when the two donor and recipient are unrelated.

That's like winning 4D on Sunday and then winning Toto on Monday.

The recipient of Ming Ming's liver has been identified as a civil servant from the Ministry of Home Affairs. He had mysteriously fallen ill and his liver failed without warning. He was just given one week to live.

The Ministry of Health has since confirmed that this is the first ever altruistic liver donation in Singapore by an unrelated living donor.

The last time we heard anything like this was when Pierre Png put a piece of him inside Andrea de Cruz.

And he has been in her since.

The usually cynical and world-wary comments section of The Straits Times that featured the story had nothing but effervescent praise for Ming Ming.

Maybe this is the rarest fact about this episode:
