can't resist posting this: as reported on yahoo.. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporesc...-001825003.html A woman in her 60s had suddenly fallen in front of a car near the Ghim Moh market and hawker centre on Saturday morning, dropping the baby she was carrying. When he saw the commotion, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, together with the People's Action Party's General Election candidates Liang Eng Hwa, Christopher De Souza and Sim Ann, rushed to help the woman and her grandchild, reported The Straits Times. The four candidates for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC were attending the Ulu Pandan Town Day and launch of the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC five-year plan. The Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports, who was previously an ophthalmologist, told people not to crowd around the woman and spoke to her in Hokkien to ask if she could stand. The woman, known to residents as Aunty Ah Lian, replied, "No, my hand, my head hurt." A man, later found to be Sim's husband Dr Mok Ying Jang, stepped forward to identify himself as a doctor. Dressed in a light pink polo tee, he told the politicians to continue with their duties and that he would tend to the duo. The doctor, who was part of the first Singapore Everest team in 1998, later left with an ambulance ferrying the woman to the hospital. Follow Yahoo! News on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.
