PUTRAJAYA: While the ever-popular “Abang Bomba” continued to steal the spotlight and win hearts, the firemen faced other “contenders” and even their female colleagues at this year’s National Day parade.Joining in the fight for attention were “Abang JPJ” and “Abang Askar”, from the Road Transport Department and the military respectively.

These popular “hunks”, noted for their buff physique and megawatt smiles, drew shrieks and calls from the enthusiastic crowd, with some cheekily shouting: “Belanja bicep bang” (show us your biceps) and “Tembak saya Abang Askar” (shoot me soldier).

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
