Singaporeans might be a piece of work sometimes: being unnecessarily kiasu, kiasi and just STOMPing the hell out of everything.
But you can’t deny it; they’ve got spunk.
And you can tell by the following incident that they’ve got a heart too.
On 16 September 2016, a 39-year-old woman lost consciousness after falling down an escalator at Queenstown MRT station at around 5.10pm.
What exactly happened?
Miss Liu, an engineer, was believed to have been using her phone as she walked. Not noticing the escalator steps, she slipped and fell.
However, Miss Liu herself has stepped out to clarify the situation.
Apparently, she had dropped her umbrella onto the escalator. When she squatted down to retrieve it, however, she somehow fell over.
According to her, she had rolled down one or two steps before stopping, hitting the back of her head in the process. Still conscious, she felt dazed and couldn’t articulate her speech properly.
That was when she heard two voices behind her, a male and a female. She said that the woman was supporting her to stop her from rolling down any further, and the man had pressed the emergency button, which instantly stopped the escalator.
Still blurry, she heard noises around her, including somebody saying that they were unable to find her Identification card.
That was when she lost consciousness.
She was attended to by paramedics and swiftly sent to National University Hospital (NUH), which had been alerted beforehand to take her in.
Fortunately, only her right leg has sustained abrasions.
Her mind, on the other hand, is perfectly fine. In fact, she could be discharged as early as 18 September.
Miss Liu has sent out thanks to the two helpful souls that assisted her at her time of need.
The escalator has since been suspended for service, and as of September 17, still has not resumed operations.
Thoughts
I guess it’s a really unfortunate thing to have happened to Miss Liu. But if I were to adopt a ‘glass half full’ mindset, I would say that at least she didn’t encounter this.
On the other hand, we have quite a number of people to applaud too. Judging from what she said…
Still blurry, she heard noises around her, including somebody saying that they were unable to find her Identification card.
It seems there’s more than just two kind souls that had helped her out, in one way or another.
And you know what that means.
Keep up the good job, Singaporeans! If you produce more acts like this, you might just erase all the negative tags pegged on us like ‘Kiasu’ and ‘Kiasi’.
But that’s a bit hard, so just focus on not creating more controversy bah.
