Motorists rescue tortoise crossing busy Ang Mo Kio road

A tortoise was saved by two motorists while trying to cross a busy road in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore, on March 22. The incident was captured on a dashboard camera, showing the tortoise slowly making its way across a lane just before a traffic crossing. In the video, a motorcyclist stopped beside the road and signaled to a lorry driver to halt. The motorcyclist then carefully picked up the tortoise and placed it in the lorry's bed. The lorry driver waved to thank the other motorists who had stopped for the rescue. This act of kindness has received praise from many people online. One user commented, “Good to see a good deed, instead of an accident.” In recent days, there have been worrying news about monkeys in the area. A video showed a monkey getting hit by a car while crossing the road. Another post described a baby monkey being run over by a van near Upper Pierce Reservoir Park. Due to these incidents, the National Parks Board has reminded drivers to be cautious in areas with wildlife. They advised people to avoid handling injured animals and to report emergencies to the Animal Response Centre.
