Not necessarily true in some Asian cultures just by being associated with the event you attach a type of responsibility to yourself. In this Cade I’m sure there was fear of the authorities assuming some complicity as well fir bringing attention to such a terrible thing. I wonder what happened to the homeless lady after.

Or this.....

Others blamed China’s compensation culture for the apparent show of callousness, recalling a famous 2006 judgment when a Good Samaritan who helped a woman get to hospital was wrongly ordered to pay her compensation.

not just Asian, also muslim

You in a car accident in Thailand or Turkey? Especially if a farang? Keep going!

Knew of a GI in a 3rd world muslim country who killed a girl who committed suicide by stepping in front of his car and he had to be hastened out of that country to avoid being jailed

they are all fatalistic about the will of Allah or heaven or whatever, accidents are fate....yada yada yada

but if you are involved, you are guilty. Especially if you are foreign

Again, there are people in America who would do this, just not so many we hope. But at the risk of prejudice, there is something “different” from us, about the Asian (and some other cultures’) views and treatment of human life.

In the US remember the guy who ran over the baby carriage and kept going dragging the baby for miles leaving Grandma and everyone else screaming at him? And the woman who hit the pedestrian and drove home and parked in her garage with the corpse stuck in her windshield?

yeesh
