An elderly woman lay down across a road outside Boon Lay Bus Interchange on Wednesday (March 25) afternoon, causing traffic to come to a standstill.
Videos of the incident posted online show a man waving his arm, signalling for oncoming vehicles to slow down.
Wong Chee Chuon, an assistant interchange supervisor at SBS Transit, had received a report about the congestion and hurried outside to check the situation.
“When I saw her lying in the middle of the road, I didn’t think further — my priority was her safety,” he recounted in a commendation post made by the transport operator on Friday.
Wong told Lianhe Zaobao that the woman kept her eyes shut and remained silent. She did not appear to be in pain or have breathing difficulties.
