Mohammad Irfan Nur Iman Bin Azhar died in a road traffic accident along Tanah Merah Coast Road towards Xilin Avenue on June 22.
On July 6, Irfan's mother, Iman Syuhadah, posted on Facebook saying that she hopes to identify and thank the good Samaritans.
Iman also stated that these passers-by may have performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Irfan before emergency services arrived, but couldn't save him.
She said those who were involved in Irfan's resuscitation can reach out to her privately via the numbers that she had provided on her post.
Iman "would like to personally thank you for your courage, kindness, and effort".
