SINGAPORE: The father of a young motorcyclist who died following an accident last month is appealing for help to identify the passers-by who attempted to save his son’s life by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The deceased, Mohammad Irfan Nur Iman Bin Azhar, was a 19-year-old police officer, according to his father, Iman Syuhadah, who spoke to MS News.
Iman shared that his son had always dreamed of joining the police force.
In a Facebook post published on Sunday (6 July), Iman revealed that his son was involved in a serious motorcycle accident shortly after 5am on 22 June.
He was later informed that several passers-by had stopped to help and performed CPR before emergency services arrived.
“We were informed that several passers-by stopped to help and performed CPR on him before emergency services arrived,” he wrote.
Despite their efforts, Mohammad Irfan later succumbed to his injuries.
Nonetheless, Iman expressed his family’s appreciation for the compassion shown during his son’s final moments.
“Although he has since passed on, our family is deeply grateful to know that in his final moments, there were compassionate strangers who tried their best to help,” he added.
Iman is now hoping to get in touch with those who were present at the scene or anyone who may know them.
He urged them to contact him via text or call at 8793 8729, or to reach out to his wife at 8749 8857.
The family wishes to thank those individuals personally for their “courage, kindness, and effort”.
