SINGAPORE: More than 10 people came forward to help clear a large tree branch that fell on Saturday evening (Apr 28), obstructing a three-lane road at Ganges Avenue towards Indus Road.
They helped lift the branch to the side of the road, and cleared the smaller branches as well.
The incident took place around 8.15pm, said eyewitness Loh Soon Heng. He heard a loud bang while watching TV in his flat, located in the Housing and Development Board block in front of the road.
"After five minutes, around 15 people helped to carry the branches," said the full-time national serviceman, who also saw an individual helping to direct traffic.
