A group of off-duty Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF)
personnel was lauded by STOMPer Mr Aw after they were seen stopping
their lorry along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) to help three
casualties who were involved in an accident.
The STOMPer wrote:
"My wife and I were travelling along the PIE towards Tuas. We were
driving behind a SCDF lorry when suddenly the hazard light of the
lorry came on.
"We weren't sure what happened initially so we just switched lanes.
That was when we realized the lorry was stopped at an accident site
involving three motorcyclists.
"We saw about four to five service personnel get off the lorry to
help the three.
"As a former SCDF personnel, I feel proud that these service
personnel came forward to help despite them not being involved in
this accident.
"The group split up to handle different tasks -- one group attended
to the casualties while another went to the back and help to
regulate traffic flow.
"Even though they were not on duty -- or at least they were, to my
belief -- they still came down to help -- this is a sight that's
very pleasing to see.
"Well done SCDF!"
