Drowning girl saved by guest instead of lifeguard ( By Klaris )

A young girl who almost drowned at Marina Bay Sands' infinity pool last Sunday afternoon was saved by a hotel guest who identified himself as a doctor, instead of the MBS lifeguard on duty.

According to an eyewitness, Eric, the lifeguard who was on duty was checking the girl's pulse when a hotel guest stepped forward to perform CPR on the victim. This guest identified himself as a doctor. The drowning girl who was clad in a pink swimsuit looked no older than 10 year old.

Eric continued by saying that the young girl was successfully pulled out from the pool, but the lifeguard who was on duty did not seem to know CPR. However, an MBS spokesperson refuted his claims and said that all MBS lifeguards have a Lifeguarding Certificate and CPR Certificates.

The spokesperson added that MBS has between 3-5 lifeguards on duty during pool operating hours.

WHY I CHOOSE THIS ARTICE?

This article appeal to me because of the title. I was puzzled as to why the hotel guest saved the drowning girl instead of the lifeguard on duty.

IF I WERE IN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION

If i were in control of the situation, i would have done the same way as what the hotel guest did. By reacting fast and perform the CPR on the drowning girl.

QUESTION TO ASK

I want to ask the writer wad happened to the young girl and the lifeguard after this incident.
