She was gasping for breath
May 02, 2007
MS May Leong's mother called Ms Pamela Wong in a panic at around 7pm last Monday.
Ms Leong had collapsed and she was having great difficulty breathing.
Said Ms Wong: 'I used to live in the nearby block to her flat. But since I got married, I have moved. So I could not rush down. I called my parents and asked them to rush there first.'
While her parents were on the way to MsLeong's flat, they called her mother to ask if they should call a doctor or an ambulance.
'She asked for an ambulance,' said Ms Wong.
When her parents arrived at the flat, her father saw MsLeong on the sofa 'gasping for breath'.
'He also saw a huge bruise on her leg,' said Ms Wong.
Ms Leong's mother was frantic, but there was little anyone could except wait for the ambulance.
'The ambulance took about 20 minutes to half an hour to arrive,' said MsWong.
'During that time, my father saw her calling her mother and crying, quite loudly at first, but as she grew weaker, her cries became softer.'
By the time MsLeong arrived at the National University Hospital at about 8pm, her condition was critical. Not long after that, she died. -

Ehhh cars hogging the First Lane and in the process preventing the amb from coming in time?
Always see it when I am driving....
Sometimes don't be too quick to put the blame on the public service....there are alot of other factors...
My 2 cents worth -
Solution to this (Purposeful Road-hogging in front of Ambulance) :Originally posted by greengoblin:Ehhh cars hogging the First Lane and in the process preventing the amb from coming in time?

My 2 cents worth
>> 3 successive blast of the ambulance horn
>> afterwhich if vehicle in front refuses to give way
>> Onboard video camera will capture vehicle's behaviour
>> And a $1000 fine will be imposed on the culrpit
No arguments and or Appeals will be entertained. -
screw the fine. impound their vehicles and take away their licenses.
