Hmm, Singaporean men.
Hmm, must be 5 foreigners.
One day, Lee Kuan Yew woke up and found himself in Heaven. The angels guided to join a queue. Josef Stalin and Mao Tse-tung were ahead in the queue. The angels said, "You shall be interviewed by God Himself to assess the position you shall have in Heaven."
God asked Stalin, "Son, how do you account for what you did on Earth?" He replied, "I'm often been misunderstood. I've saved many people but I needed to kill 20 million people in order to save 200 million people." God said, "I see, you shall be seated on my left."
God then asked Mao, " Son, how do you account for what you did on Earth?" He replied, "I'm been even more misunderstood. I've save even more people but I need to kill 20 million people in order to save 1 billion people." God said, "I see, you shall be seated on my right."
God then asked LKY, "Son, how do you account for what you did on Earth?" He replied, "First, I'm not your Son. Second, get the hell out of my Seat!"

This type of news no need to make it to the papers, really.. Next time, if got people jump in to save someone, then that is newsworthy... Those 5 ppl are taking the cue from the Govt... "You die your problem".... no civic mindedness and no conscience to talk about..
Jokes aside, seriously. How come some many seems to assume those five people can swim, and up to lifesaving standards? Has anyone tried and passed a lifesaving course before? Has anyone tried keeping a drowning and struggling person's chin above water while threading and dragging a bodyweight equal to or heavier than yours against the water to land?
I suspect this is Makapaaa's work.
Lets get the facts straight. The woman drowned BECAUSE SHE FELL INTO THE LONGKANG AND GOT SWEPT AWAY.

No, it was Hedy Khoo
wahlaneh...
those 5 people must be having a meeting then.
1st: somebody fell into the trench.
2nd: a woman.
3rd: how did she drop in?
4th: should we help?
5th: none of my biz.
Thanks a lot. I smell a rat. There are people here with no shame - copy from someone and claim it his own. This forum is infested with such people - no originality, no ideas, just now how to gripe and steal ideas.
Only Rogue Trader has got the point right. She fell and she's dead. Nothing to do with the five who happened to be nearby. If one of them was confident enough to dive in and save her successfully, she owes him her life. If not, nobody owes her anything. I was a police certified lifesaver. I'd assess the water situation first before thinking about diving in to attempt to save her. We don't owe anyone duty of suicide just to act hero.
True
Especially if it is a sinkie woman.. Why bother? One less = One less person from the 66% group
Naaaah I know you're also scared. Don't find lousy excuses for yourself.
Most important is, whether those 5 blokes can swim? If they cannot and with those strong currents, they will die together and be one in heaven.
Similar to how the Imperial Japanese banzai charge does not work against the well-armed Americans during the Pacific Theater. They charge with swords and the other side reciprocated with guns. Summary: Lives wasted with no effect.

You must be crazy to consider jumping in. I considered jumping in only because I was paid and trained police. Even then, consider only. In condition unfavorable, no way. I may be a police but not a suicide hero.
If you see someone drowning, think first. Do you know lifesaving? Lifesaving is different from mere swimming or even speed swimming. What's the current flow condition and the distance? A gold class lifesaver can't save anyone in a swirl or torrent. It's better to call police a.s.a.p. in most cases. At least you did something instead of just watching. The victim may be saved or dead by the time police arrives. It's not your fault, neither any of the passers-by's fault. Even police are not expected to necessarily dive in to attempt rescue if conditions are unfavourable. Blaming passers-by and onlookers for not acting makes no sense.
