Facebook post

I saw this post on Facebook the other day. My friend who's aspiring to be in the Singapore Police Force detailed how he tried to save a foreign construction worker, and how nobody else offered any help.

Apparently, he checked for his pulse and and tried to shake him awake. With no reply, he called the police and the ambulance while more onlookers gathered, all the while trying to resuscitate him. Ya di dah.

After going home, he posted this status, saying he hoped the victim would be fine. It's all bearable, and I was going to click on the like button to encourage him. That was until his next statement; "Im just doing wat i need to do if im going to join SPF in the future". What, you would have be an onlooker if you weren't aspiring to be in the SPF?

He then had the audacity to stress that "the other ppl didnt help at all -.-" and that "this case really honed my leadership skills". Really? I feel a truckload of disrespect for you right now. You're disrespecting others for not offering to help when you would have been one and the same if you weren't aspiring to be in the Force? How hypocritical can you get?

Maybe you were trying your best to save a fellow human being, out of the kindness of your heart, but to boast about it online, I really feel that you were merely putting on a show for the onlookers and for us to get a good word for yourself.
