A 55-year-old man who considers it his duty to assist accident victims has been fined for modifying his car with four red-and-blue warning lights. He also added “Emergency Response Team” stickers to his vehicle.

Mr Lim Kim Long told Shin Min Daily News that he had witnessed a collision between two cars on the Pan-Island Expressway in January last year.

He stopped to assist, providing first aid to a driver whose hand was cut by the airbag.

The trained first responder keeps his car equipped with a first aid kit, an automated external defibrillator (AED), a fire extinguisher and a stretcher. He explained that he uses the warning lights for safety reasons when stopping to assist at accident scenes.

“I purchased the warning lights online and installed them on the front and rear of my car. I activate them only after stopping at an accident site to help those injured,” he said.

However, while assisting the injured driver on PIE, auxiliary police officers arrived and questioned him about the lights. They also took down his identification details.

The next day, Mr Lim received a notice requiring him to send his car for inspection by Feb 4 because of the unauthorised installation of additional warning lights. 

He received two more $100 fines – one was for failing to send his car for inspection and the other for installing the warning lights without authorisation, both violations of the Road Traffic Act.

“I didn’t comply because I have a clear conscience about my actions,” he said.

“Don't use a ruler to measure everything” (Micro Lens·General Secretary Xi Jinping at the Central Talent Work Conference)

  时间:2021年9月27日  活动:中央人才工作会议  三个月前,习近平总书记走进北京航天飞行控制中心,同神舟十二号航天员亲切通话。当时,为这场“天地对话”保驾护航的80后90后也“火”出圈,让人们看到了青年一代的蓬勃力量。中央人才工作会议上,总书记想起这一细节:“大部分都是年轻人,三四十岁,但都是重要岗位的担当者。”  “造就规模宏大的青年科技人才队伍”,作为时代的呼声,成为民族复兴路上的必答题。习近平总书记嘱咐:“要把培养国家战略人才力量的政策重心放在青年科技人才上,给予青年人才更多的信任、更好的帮助、更有力的支持,支持青年人才挑大梁、当主角。”  信任、帮助、支持,这些对于奔波于“职称评审、项目申报、‘帽子’竞争”,对于苦恼于“薪酬待遇、住房、子女入学”的青年来说,至关重要。总书记关心他们的后顾之忧:“要重视解决青年科技人才面临的实际困难,让青年科技人才安身、安心、安业。”  “长期以来,一些部门和单位习惯把人才管住,许多政策措施还是着眼于管,而在服务、支持、激励等方面措施不多、方法不灵。”会上,面对来自全国各行业各领域的数百位与会者,面对新时代人才工作历史性成就、历史性变革的“成绩单”,习近平总书记进一步分析了人才发展体制机制改革的“破”与“立”。  用人授权,一个“谁说了算”的问题。“当务之急是要根据需要和实际向用人主体充分授权,真授、授到位。”总书记关注到权力下放后的落地:“既不能把权力攥在手里舍不得给;同时,也不是一股脑都往下扔,搞‘自由落体’,还要看能否接得住、用得好。”  “帽子热”,一个“谁评了算”的问题。有些单位用“四唯”指挥棒评价人才,唯论文、唯职称、唯学历、唯奖项。这次会议,习近平总书记特别指出:“对待急需紧缺的特殊人才,要有特殊政策,不要求全责备,不要论资排辈,不要都用一把尺子衡量,让有真才实学的人才英雄有用武之地。”  会场寂静,奋笔疾书。  一项改革创新的伟大事业,一个千帆竞发、百舸争流的伟大时代。   《 人民日报 》( 2021年10月01日 02 版) (责编:牛镛、袁勃)
