Within minutes, three station managers, Eric Tan and Jonathan Ching, and another assistant station manager, Thangavel Siva, joined forces with a male commuter to perform CPR and administer first aid.
A female commuter also called for an ambulance during this critical time. The group alternated CPR efforts while station staff ensured the area remained clear.
