Singaporeans who saw the video were quick to express their concern for the rider. “Maybe the poor person was working 23 hours a day to make ends meet and collapsed from sheer exhaustion,” said one, “Hope the person is okay.”

Another speculated that there were many items in his delivery bag, which could have been what caused him to fall and have a hard time getting back up. Many others expressed their empathy and well-wishes for the man.

One netizen even took time to applaud the woman seen running to his rescue.
