According to a report in The Straits Times, the call was from 20-year-old student and part-time delivery rider Mohamed Nasrullah. He said that his younger brother had told him about a woman lying motionless on the ground floor. When he got there, about 10 people were at the scene. He called the police and officers arrived in 10 minutes.

He said: “The bystanders were standing around without calling the police so I decided to… make the call.”

Another person called the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

The woman, who was unconscious, was taken to the Ng Teng Fong General Hospital. She was pronounced dead at 9.58 pm.
