Yeah, that's the way to go. Involving the public to participate to help out in such matters, is almost always a win-win-win for all involved. For all countries including Singapore.
WLDRABBIT posted :
There are always surfers around most beaches with or without lifeguards. Most are ready and willing to help with a water rescue, can read the rip currents, and surprisingly trained in first aid or water rescue. If no lifeguard, seek their help immediately and call 911. The idea that most people get, thinking if you ask the surfer for help he'll just shrug, "Yep, that little dude is toast out there, bummer. Nothing we can do. Hey pass me that joint (marijuana). Wanna hit?" is far overplayed by the media.

[Singapore] - The man had worked as an accountant at the bank for over ten years after he graduated from university, and drew a monthly salary that was upwards of Sg$10,000 for most of that 10 years. He also dabbled in the stock market on the side, but lost a large sum of money after getting burnt. Stocks that the man invested in crashed in September last year, and he had to declare bankruptcy. Then, in another huge blow, he lost his job early this year. He became a food delivery driver in March, but quit within three months, and being unemployed and bankrupt, fell into depression.

[Medical] - A surgeon who aims to do the first human head transplant says he's done another outlandish procedure
In a paper published June 14, Canavero details how he and a team of surgeons severed then reconnected the spinal cords of a group of mice using a type of plastic called polyethylene glycol (PEG). Canavero previously described PEG in a TED Talk as "a special biological glue" that could be the key to a successful future head transplant.
Canavero told Newsweek that this latest experiment is a leap forward.
“Critics said the transected spinal cord is unrecoverable and thus a human head transplant is impossible," he said. "The scans show the reconstructed cord."
Surgeons first used PEG in a series of experiments conducted in the 1930s and 1940s, in which they attempted to fuse the spinal cords of dogs, giving them two heads. That's essentially what Canavero claims to have done in April, when he described the process of attaching the head of a mouse to the body of a rat. He repeated the procedure in several other animals, creating a series of two-headed rats which lived for an average of 36 hours.
In preparation for the latest experiment on mice, Canavero performed what he called a "proof-of-concept" procedure on a dog. He severed the animal's spinal cord then reconnected it — one of the major obstacles to completing the procedure in people. He has not released details on how long the dog lived, however.
In the most recent study, Canavero describes severing the spinal cords of the mice then applying saline to the wound to stop the bleeding. Then, nine of the mice were treated with PEG and had their wounds sealed. Six mice were only treated with saline. Both groups were given antibiotics after the procedure for 72 hours. Canavero writes in the paper that the rodents who received PEG recovered their motor function and were able to walk after 28 days. Nevertheless, all of the rodents except one (who died even earlier) only lived for a month.

Stupid punishment rule for stupid game for stupid people. If the guy kena intracerebral hemorrhage, kena stroke, slips into a coma or dies, and his punishment-executor friends get thrown in jail for manslaughter, they all more than deserve it. This is the same kind of stupidity involved in 'hazing' at University Orientation events. It's bad enough here in Singapore, it's even worse in USA and Europe, with all those fraternities' and sororities' rituals nonsense.
