my gut feeling tells me the taxi driver refusal to help stems from his superstition. he does not want someone to die in his taxi.

for the mother in that circumstances she could have been too panic to think of calling the ambulance. it's disheartening to suggest when everything was too late.

nonetheless in future cases yes agree call for the ambulance.

I also don't trust my fellow Singaporeans cum neighbours to understand what's a REAL emergency. Laughing I'm sure there'll be folks kicking my door down just because of the sniffles or tummyache at midnight or other non-life-threatening ailments! Razz

In an emergency, anyone who can help should help even if it takes some risks

I am saddened by the death of the little girl Kiki (ST Online Forum Oct 31).

The Comfort cabby and the police patrol which declined to help the sick girl being rushed to hospital show how insensitive and heartless are some of our professionals. A life could have been saved if they had some sense and compassion.

My concern is, will Singaporeans learn a lesson from this? Being a former cabby, I had rushed a pregnant woman from Sun Plaza to KK Hospital when she told me that her water-bag would burst at any moment. She was profusely thankful that I tried my best.

In an emergency, I believe that anyone who is in a position to help must take some risks to help our fellow citizens.

I was told that in case of emergency and if this is confirmed by the hospital, the Traffic Police may consider not taking action against the speeding driver.

Can the authorities enlighten us on this?

I am also thinking along this line...but the thing is...its more of security concern than safety for not stopping,if not stopping...seriously I dunno what I would do then...

not too sure if what I am writting above makes sense...my point is...as a driver...being aware of ur surroundings is part of the driving skill...whether U want to stop or not isnt.

Xcert SG

there are local organisations offering first aid course...I think it's better than reading a book...go ask around ur neighbourhood...CCs...RCs...etc...can go to www.pa.gov.sg if U are lazy to do it physically....another way is to email St. John Ambulance and see if they conduct such courses at a time and place suitable for U... Laughing

Xcert SG

would be helpful if got plate number of the mata...make sure he kenna... Evil or Very Mad

Xcert SG

question is...would U follow the crowd and do nothing?

Xcert SG

ya lor...human is like that one...progress for the sake of progress...

last time ur action would be correct...

now maybe correct action is to take chopsticks and pull the sweet out...danger of him bitting ur fingers

maybe later few years down the road...have to do MRI scan first before doing anything to the sweet...
