SINGAPORE: The Singapore Civil Defense Force has issued a strong statement on this week, decrying the recent incidents of violence and abuse faced by their paramedics while responding to emergency calls.The first incident, which occurred on February 12, 2023, unfolded along Hougang Avenue 3. SCDF paramedics were attending to a male patient at the void deck when he became uncooperative and started using vulgar language towards the paramedic.
In a separate incident on March 15, 2023, another paramedic was assessing a male patient at Kallang Wave Mall when the situation suddenly escalated. The patient, without warning, became aggressive and forcefully shoved the paramedic against a wall. The offender was swiftly detained by the police. Disturbingly, these incidents represent only a fraction of the abuse faced by frontliners in recent months. Since January this year, the SCDF has recorded a total of 15 reported cases of abuse against their emergency responders. Such incidents not only undermine the SCDF’s commitment to serving the public but also hinder the paramedics’ ability to carry out their duties effectively.
