Man helps food delivery rider who collapsed, delivers order for him

[Johnrambo]

Despite the essential work they do, there's no denying that food delivery riders are often woefully underappreciated.

Fortunately, one driver was ready to offer a helping hand when a food delivery rider collapsed en route to a customer.

In a Facebook post today (June 4), Kelvin Tay recounted that he had spotted the rider while he was on his way home after dropping his child off at school.

The man "suddenly collapsed" along with his motorcycle on the road and appeared to be "very pale".

Tay immediately got out of his car to check on the man, who was complaining of "stomach pain".

Concerned, he asked the rider to take a rest, but the rider insisted on completing his delivery order.

It was only when Tay offered to escort him home and deliver the order on his behalf that he relented.

Couple Of Points:

1. Would have thought it would be more important to send the delivery guy to hospital than to deliver the order.

2. In any case, well done Kelvin Tay.

It is very sad indeed. Food delivery is now one of the jobs reserved for citizens while foreigners are replacing citizens in PMET positions.. How long do you want this to carry on?

I have no pity for this food delivery guy if he voted for PAP.

If you are too stupid to know who are the real culprit of your woes, then you deserve your fate.

Actually Grab Food Delivery can make good money. The tips can be very good!

If too tired take a break. Lie down at the void deck for a while then get back to work again. Solid!
