She sustained injuries to her chin as a result.
However, she reportedly refused medical attention at first as she was afraid that she would be late for work.
A man who was waiting for his bus to Kranji that morning witnessed the incident and wrote about it on the 人在狮城漂 Facebook group.
He highlighted that the woman could not get up by herself after collapsing on the ground.
Moreover, her chin was bleeding. She also expressed that she was very tired when others asked how she was feeling.
According to the man, the woman seemed like she simply wanted to rest and wait for the bus at first.
It was only after checkpoint staff persuaded her to get her injuries checked out that she agreed to do so.
Fortunately, the impact from the fall did not cause her glasses to break.
In his post, the man implored the woman not to force herself to go to work if she was unwell.
Work is important, but never more important than your body and mind.
He added that it would be unfortunate if she had collapsed in a dangerous place.
“Living is never a solitary affair,” he wrote. “I hope you see this.”
Many other Facebook users expressed concern for the woman and hoped she was all right.
