When Mr Rex Ang Jia Jie, 20, responded to the MyResponder app on two occasions, he had expected to find elderly people who had suffered cardiac arrest. Instead, Mr Ang, a first-year nursing student at Parkway College of Nursing and Allied Health, was shocked to find kids...

He told The New Paper:"I've always had a passion to help people, but I didn't know where to start."I realised I was a very practical person when it came to helping others, so I thought that learning such skills would definitely come in handy."The app, the result of a collaboration between the Singapore Civil Defence Force and the Government Technology Agency , was launched in 2015.

When he arrives at the scene, Mr Ang will either perform CPR or assist paramedics in moving the patient to the ambulance.
