extremely riddiculous.

Im living in Malaysia.

Went over to SS15 for dinner just now,
when a minor accident happened.

Guess i don't really have to go deep into all the ~~ugly~~ details,
just that it involves our car and a motorcycle.
The motorcyclist basically flew off his bike and ended up in a very painful position in front of our car
something like that.

As usual, typical Malaysians
all of them came and gathered around the accident area
looking. Just looking.
Jason and playmate was frantically helping the casualty,
while i was trying to get hold of the emergency number to contact an ambulance.

I swear almost all the Malaysians who came and gather around was on the phone,
while i was asking around for the emergency number.
The thing is, everyone was so busy calling their grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, brothers, sisters, uncles and aunties, and friends giving live-update and all
but no one helped to call the ambulance.
When i asked around for the emergency number,
all i got was the don't-ask-me-none-of-my-business look in return.

Finally when i got the emergency number,
no one answered the phone.
I just kept dialing 999 till i finally got through, almost after my 100th attempt that is
a lady was on the other line.
There i was frantically asking for an ambulance and all,
while she was busy asking me to spell my name, my ic number, telephone number, address and so on. I could have screamed on the phone, really.
Like, why can't you take that down AFTER sending an ambulance ?!

Finally after 8 minutes or so,
i was put through to a hospital and this time, a man attended to me.
I asked for an ambulance and immediately told our whereabouts and all
but much to my dissapointment,
he had to ask me for my details all over again. To spell it out, my ic number, my address, my contact number and much more.
Fed up, we cut off the line and hung up.

The best option at that moment was,
to send the casualty to the hospital ourselves.
Playmate and Jason carried the motorcyclist into the backseat of the car
and that was when the lady from the emergency line called me back.
All i remembered was raising my voice and ~~shouted~~ said,
" We're sending him ourselves. YOU ARE ALL TAKING FAR TOO LONG!! "

Seriously, this incident was really an eye opener for me.
Malaysians offering no help yet everyone wants to come closer to have a look at the casualty.
The extremely riddiculous emergency hotline.

People, what if it was a life and death situation ?
