Retired civil servant Sariban patrols the Indonesian city of Bandung as an unpaid, one-man cleaning crew.

Sariban hopes the local government will one day follow his lead.
沙里班希望地方政府有一天能起而效尤。
[Sariban, Retired Civil Servant]:
“The government should not just pass regulations. They have to show the people how to do it, practice it. Not just keep quiet when they see people litter."
沙里班，这位退休的公务员说道：“政府不应该只是通过一些规章，他们应该告诉人们怎么做并且付诸实行。当看见人们乱丢时，政府不应只是保持缄默。”
He takes that message to people on the streets, singing songs to promote a cleaner city.

The 67-year-old man tours the city twice each day and other residents welcome his regular patrols.

[Max, Bandung Resident]:
“Not many people would do what he does to the city. He takes care of the city’s waste. I appreciate him for what he does."
马克思，一位万隆市的居民说：“不见得有很多的人愿意像他这样为本市付出，他把都市的垃圾做了处理，我要感谢他所作的一切。”
Sariban’s volunteer work is important for Bandung, which faces floods each year.
