One-Legged Delivery Rider Allegedly Falls While Climbing Shophouse Stairs In Thomson

EDITOR’S NOTE: A previous version of this article stated that the rider was appealing for donations to tide him through his recovery period as his injury temporarily puts him out of work.

The life of a delivery rider is never easy, let alone if one were to carry out the tasks with one leg, which is the case for Mr S.

Like other delivery partners, Mr S is no stranger to difficult customers. However, a recent encounter left him with an emotional scar and a physical injury.

On Saturday (7 Jan), the rider took to Facebook to share about the incident, which took place at a block in Thomson that did not have a lift.

While attempting to climb the stairs, Mr S allegedly fell and injured his foot. As a result, he is unable to go about making deliveries now.

One-legged delivery rider falls while climbing stairs at Thomson shophouse

In a Facebook post last Saturday (7 Jan), Mr S recounted the incident, which took place at an undisclosed shophouse in Thomson.

According to him, the destination was a residential unit on the second floor of a shophouse. When he arrived, he noticed that there was no lift access to the upper floor.

Stuck in a predicament, Mr S claimed he contacted the platform, who said that the customer insisted that he go up to the second floor as they had paid the delivery fee.

When he messaged the customer directly to explain that he couldn’t climb the stairs due to his handicap, the latter allegedly “didn’t care” and said they were in a meeting.

Determined to complete his task, Mr S attempted to scale the stairs. Unfortunately, he ended up falling down and injuring his foot.

Unable to work due to injury

In the post, Mr S also shared a picture of his swollen foot and said he’s unable to work now as a result of the injury.

While he’s harbouring thoughts of quitting the job, Mr S said he doesn’t have a choice as he has no other sources of income.

For now, we hope Mr S makes a swift and smooth recovery from his injury.
