“Kindness still exists in Singapore.” That was the sentiment echoed by several netizens after a video of drivers and passers-by alighting from their vehicles to collect materials that had fallen off a lorry and onto a road went viral.
A recording of the incident, posted on Facebook group Roads.Sg on March 16, has garnered more than 179,000 views, 4,900 likes and hundreds of positive comments by netizens.The 26-second clip – which has been shared more than 250 times – shows a loaded lorry parked at the side of the road, just after a traffic light which is showing red. Materials that have fallen from the lorry are scattered on the ground.
They are seen scooping up white rectangular sheets, which resemble an A0-size poster, before placing them on a grass patch at the side of the road. Some are seen taking several items at a time, before returning to clear more. Netizen John Ng said: “It’s good to see people go all out to help out instead of taking photos and videos, or even complaining; sometimes, a little helping hand goes a long way... I hope this society can be kinder and more gracious as time goes by.”
