lay down across a road<\/a> outside Boon Lay Bus Interchange on Wednesday (March 25) afternoon, causing traffic to come to a standstill.<\/p>\nVideos of the incident posted online show a man waving his arm, signalling for oncoming vehicles to slow down.<\/p>\n
Wong Chee Chuon, an assistant interchange supervisor at SBS Transit, had received a report about the congestion and hurried outside to check the situation.<\/p>\n
“When I saw her lying in the middle of the road, I didn’t think further \u2014 my priority was her safety,” he recounted in a commendation post made by the transport operator on Friday.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“I asked her if she needed help, but she didn’t respond. Then I tried to help her up, but she started struggling and told me not to touch her,” he said.<\/p>\n
Despite the woman’s resistance, Wong persevered in his efforts and managed to fetch her to the roadside with the help of a SMRT staff member, the report stated.<\/p>\n
