Little kid, RIP..
Showed this clip to a PRC at my place and he told me that sometimes if u go down and help a gang would grabbed you and blame you for injuring the child and demand you to pay a sum thats why sometimes nobody dares to help.
My PRC colig say this is normal in CHINABAI land woh ...
He said everyday also got such thing happen ...WTF ...
Don't worry. There are 1.2 billion of them. One less isn't going to make any difference whatsoever.
This vid also came out on Channel 8 news few minutes ago...

BTW I am Chinese and always stopped to help. When I asked passerby for assistance, Chinese are the first to siam. Once in Geylang main road, a Indian worker got knocked down lying on the bus lane bleeding from head and not one ah beng helped. I have to block him with my motorbike from oncoming vehicles and waited for police car. Poor bugger was crying thinking God must have deserted him.
Once I crashed on a road due to road debris and and a kindly Indian stopped and gave me first aid. The rest of those who are chinese before him are just gawkers. I give one ah beng my mobile to call ambulance and that cheebye suddenly forgot how to dial 999.
PRC society...u lucky no one come and rob u of ur valuables before leaving u for the dead.
bck to the point - helping.
sometimes, its not that we dun want to help, it could be:
a) unsure how to help
b) dunno how to help
imagine u see someone drowning, u jump inside n save him? U can swim but r u trained in water rescue? What if both of u died after?
another scenerio, u see someone suddenly genna heart attack, what u do? Call 995 & after? Give CPR? U noe how to give CPR? I can say many dunno. Another question, what happen if you give CPR n he died becos you gave wrongly? U become murderer?
someone lied injured on the road, u called ambulance, what else can u do? U dare to risk him by shifting him - note: u dun noe what injury he has. Prolly, wat one can do, is to direct traffic, divert from the person, fan him, give water...but many times, many felt unsure how to help, so stand n gawk loh
And to make things worse, there are stupid programs like Gotcha that makes fun of situations like this, people ask - hey r they filming or am i on Gotcha.
some people think too much instead of giving a helping hand. one word " complication". is it staged? will the police blame me if they cant find the culprit? will i be hold responsible if thing goes wrong? or the victim died?
.
In short,are you saying that the Chinese are not risk takers?.....generally speaking.
helping someone need to take risk??? u confuse or i confuse?
It is a sense of commitment....once you commit for something it inherently carries certain risk.
