</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->ON SATURDAY, my wife and I were on our motorbike travelling from Lentor towards Yishun when the car in front of us braked suddenly.
To prevent crashing into the car, I turned right and hit the curb. Our bike went up the sloping grass patch and we fell off.
I suffered a gash which needed five stitches. I sat on the grass patch while my wife checked if I had other wounds. Many passing drivers looked out of their windows, but did not stop. When my wife started waving for help, a few drivers drove off, while others ignored her.
Finally, a Malaysian lorry driver stopped. The few foreign workers on the lorry ran over to help us. They carried our bike out from the drain and tended to my wounds. They even pushed my bike to a safe corner across the road onto the pavement.
A while later, another man stopped his car and tried to calm us down.
Both my wife and I would sincerely like to thank them all.
However, we are utterly disappointed with the other Singaporeans. Singaporeans usually despise foreign workers, but when we needed help, the foreign workers were the ones who extended their hands to help us.
They may not be as educated as we are, but they have a heart of gold.
