Recently, an ambulance carrying a patient to Changi General Hospital was stuck in traffic, and the delay may have eventually cost the life of , Mr Lee Khoon Bock, who had suffered heart failure near the East Coast Food Centre during the 5km Passion Run.

This tragic incident surely marks the nadir of Singapore’s well-known reputation for ungracious drivers. (The Sunday Times, 29 May 2010)
