No Taxi! Baby coming out! Uncle Syed helps out . . . . .

 

Stomper Sufian shared how his uncle Syed and aunt had an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience when they helped a woman deliver a baby in their car today (Jul 22).

 

Syed had recounted the incident -- which occurred at around 9.40am -- on Facebook, which Sufian alerted Stomp to.

 

In a phone interview with Stomp, Syed said that he had been seeing a doctor at Bukit Panjang and was about to leave, when he and his wife noticed the pregnant woman lying by the side of the road. She was experiencing labour pains.

 

The woman's husband then told Syed that they were waiting for a cab to get them to the hospital. However, they were either ignored or turned down by taxi drivers despite having waited for an hour.

 

Syed then offered to drive the couple to Singapore General Hospital (SGH). In his Facebook post, he described how he tried rushing them to the hospital.

Due to the morning traffic, they were unable to reach their destination on time, and the woman ended up giving birth to a girl in Syed's car.

 

"A new life was born inside MY car," wrote Syed in his Facebook post. He also praised his wife for pushing aside her fear of blood and dislike of "slimy substances" to help the woman deliver her baby.

 

Syed told Stomp, "We were so happy and thankful when the baby started to cry," adding that they had been worried for the baby's condition.

 

"The husband didn't know what to say other than thank you, and I told him it's okay as long as both mother and baby were safe."

 

Syed, his wife and the couple reached SGH about 15 minutes later, where both mother and daughter received medical attention.

Sufian told Stomp:

Can I get him on call?

 

My wife will deliver later this year and this way, I can save 5k on hospital/doctor bills.

 

I'll even give him a good tip

Salute to that taxi uncle!

 

Please call ambulance next time, dont wave for taxi

[LoverofCar]

If really emergency. Should have dialed 995 immediately. Sometime Complications may happen during birth so is best to call an ambulance.

[Watwheels]

Morning peak hour traffic leh. Call for ambulance also not easy to get from Bukit Timah fire station maybe to Bukit Panjang(where they are) to SGH. Should have called the helicopter. LoL...

[Shull]

I'm more concerned by this statement:

 

"However, they were either ignored or turned down by taxi drivers despite having waited for an hour."

 

if ignored because there are other passengers onboard, i can understand.. But turning down sending a women in labour pain to hospital is simply outrageous. Where is the heart in these drivers?

940am is near the end of peak hour already. And with the new hospital at Jurong, he can send them to the A&E there.

Not surprising how difficult it is to flag down a cab in Singapore.

 

May God bless Syed and his wife gao gao!

Bro...Bukit Timah no have firestation liao.....the nearest from Bukit Panjang would be the firestation in Choa Chu Kang which is only a few junction away from Bukit Panjang. Most probably they didnt want to call an ambulance due to the fact that an ambulance would admit them to the nearest hospital....either KK or the newer one in Jurong!

[Enye]

Why they didn't try uber?

 

Surge x100

 

Sure got driver turn up faster than any ambulance or taxi

 

😂

it does says a lot of our taxi drivers ya! But can see how a messy affair it would be should a wpman gives birth in a car....the blood, embryonic fluids, the placenta.....the time to clean the car's interior would really take a long time and if not done thoroughly the smell can be really bad ones the fluid dries.

A new life is born without much danger on way to hospital :)

Thats how beautiful our lives are, if everyone help one another :))

[Mustank]

I think I have to support uber Liao

These taxi drivers really

I think I have to support uber Liao

These taxi drivers really

 

If it happen in front of me, I would help also.....

 

If only the driver had taken the routes from Bukit Panjang to Yishun (Khoo Teck Phuat Hospital) was much faster by using BKE, Mandai Rd, Yishun Ring Road and to KTP hosiptal.

 

Anyway kudo to the private car owner ..
