Driver knocks down foreign worker, then offers him $100 to 'stand up'

A driver knocked down a Chinese foreign worker in Geylang on Sunday (Jul 10), but still had the audacity to tell the man he would give him $100 if he could stand up.

According to a Lianhe Wanbao report, the accident happened around 9.20pm at Geylang Lorong 23. The man, who drove a black car, told Chinese national Zhang Lian Xiu 'Get up, get up!'

The driver then tried to help him up, but to no avail. He then told bystanders that it was Zhang was at fault in the accident.

The driver then became angry when Zhang asked why he lied. Enraged, he taunted Zhang, saying he would give him $100 if he could stand up.

However, Zhang retorted that the driver should not look down on others. A bystander also remarked, 'Have money so what?' After the police arrived, Zhang was sent to hospital for treatment.

STOMPer Dhino commented on the report:

"A person is hurt, he must be attended to and sent to hospital. Why did the driver who caused the accident still accuse and taunt the poor man?

"This is crazy. That driver is inhumane! At least have the decency to help a fellow man when they are in need!

"How would you like if circumstances forced you to work in another country and someone did the same thing to you?"

I think the problem here is not about PRCs... is more about the inconsiderate behaviour from the driver. That remark about thr $100 was uncalled for.

Less foreigners not NO no foreigners. I've come to understand that many of them are taking jobs that Singaporeans could otherwise be doing. With the exception of menial jobs that Singaporeans shun, we don't need the influx of foreigners we are currently having. Which begs the question, why are we having an aging population and is the mass importing of foreigners really a long term solution?

PRC are a dime a dozen, knock one down another will take his place. but honestly can we really blame the driver. PRC are known money grubbers, some have been known and proven to throw themselves literally at on coming cars just so to conned some monies out of gullible sinkies. At the same one can't pity them if they simply have no brains up there where it comes to personal safety when crossing a road.
