The cash was contributed by 22 residents.
On August 10, a 56-year-old man, identified as Osman Sidin, helped prevent another individual from injuring himself with a knife in Clementi. The incident occurred outside Clementi Mall when Osman, a cleaner, heard shouting and saw a man, armed with a knife, reportedly stabbing himself. Fearing for public safety, Osman intervened, restraining and disarming the man, who had grabbed a durian knife from a vendor and inflicted injuries on himself.
Bystanders, including children, ran to safety as Osman pinned the man down, causing the knife to fall away. The police received a call for assistance at 12:20pm and found the man conscious with self-inflicted injuries. Osman sustained a wrist injury and was visited by his MP, David Hoe, who praised his transformation after serving time in prison. Osman's wife expressed pride in her husband for his actions.
