What would you do if your car was next to a vehicle which was on fire?  For one man, his first instinct was to save it.  A video uploaded to Facebook group Roads.sg on Friday (May 2) showed a parked vehicle up in flames along McNair Road.  A man then appears to get into the Honda Civic parked next to the burning vehicle, driving it away from the fire. This was despite warnings from Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Singapore Police Force officers who could be heard in the video signalling and shouting for the man to «go away». A voice behind the camera could also be heard exclaiming, «Crazy fella».  After the driver exits the parking lot and comes to a stop, police officers can be seen approaching the car, with one banging on the passenger-side door and telling the driver to «come out first». The video caption stated that the Honda Civic owner was allegedly not wearing any pants during the incident. In a response to AsiaOne's queries, SCDF said they were alerted to a fire at Block 111 McNair Road on May 1 at about 8pm.

The gender advocacy organisation described these actions as «distasteful» and «dangerous». «A woman on the ballot should not have to face being objectified, degraded and stereotyped,» Aware wrote. «It is insulting and humiliating.»
