STOMPer Complained Again: “I was struggling with my child, yet woman ignored us”
Jul 1, 2008 Gossips, Singapore
I found that people nowadays really funny. They ASSUME people to offer them seat on train, bus, instead of OPENING their mouth to ASK. Their mouth full of gold is it? If you are really in need, please ask for help. Don’t take it for granted.
By the way sunshine, if the lady in the photo that you took, or anyone else, offered her seat to you, would you send into STOMP and praise this “kind heart soul”?
STOMPer Sunshine said this woman in the train ignored her even though she was carrying her child, despite a sign above her seat encouragaing commuters to give up their seats to those who need them more.
According to the STOMPer, when she boarded the train from City Hall MRT station, the woman was already seated in the carriage.
She said: “I stood right in front of her. She looked at me and then she turned away.”
The STOMPer said the train was crowded and the woman ignored her from City Hall all the way to her alighting point in Bedok.
The STOMPer said:
“Can’t you see the sign? Or at least have a bit of humanity - if you see someone struggling while carrying a child in the MRT - just give up your seat.
“Ugly Singaporeans seen once again in the MRT - plainly ignoring a parent struggling to carry her child and purposely ignoring the sign under where she was sitting.”
One day, two similar cases, champion!
Inconsiderate Auntie Sitting on the Floor in MRT
Mar 3, 2008 Singapore, Stupid Stuffs
This is another similar case like the other previous when and PRC auntie let her son pee in the train. People just took photo, then posted in forum, and discussed discussed discussed. And then? No one did anything on the spot. No one talked to or advised that auntie. People always said the PAP government is NATO, No Action Talk Only. I think, the citizens are very much like that.
Taken from EDMW:
About the PRC Auntie Who Peed on MRT
Feb 24, 2008 Gossips, Singapore, Stupid Stuffs
Oops, sorry, I mean to say, “About the PRC auntie who let her son peed on MRT”. On STOMP, the comment list is very long. And on EDMW, it is being hotly discussed now, that thread also super long.
Many guys there are happily discussing, giving their precious opinions. “PRCs are like that loh”, “This is what u get when u invited all those FT here.”, “This is their standard”, blah blah blah. I do not have close friend who is PRC, did not work closely with PRC before. But my brother did rent out his flat, which I was and am staying to 2 pairs of PRC mothers and sons. I stayed with them. Yeah, their sense of hygiene is not there, many rooms to be improved.
But what I want to say is, what were those guys in the train doing when the mother was doing that? The lady just sat there, admired the kid pee? And when they got back to seat, took their photo, and all the while, diam diam? Later on complaint on paper? How about others? Why couldn’t those speak up? While the PRC was wrong, why no one was there telling her that what she was doing is wrong? Why everything everytime like that? When things happened, people who saw it all diam diam, keep quiet. Then after that all “horse back cannon” big big, 马后炮. It work place also like that.
What kind of society is this? How far can this kind of attitude bring Singapore forward? To a gracious society? You think it can?
[Long Post With Photos] Why The Hell I Toutured Myself Visiting The Fiacking Airshow?
Feb 23, 2008 Life, Ranting, Singapore, Stupid Stuffs
Last week, I happily planned that I wanted to visit this Singapore Airshow, for the 1st time, because I never visit the previous Asian Aerospace held here. Thursday night, I booked the $20 ticket online, printed out. Friday, I kena accident at home injured my face just underneath my left eye. People advised me not to go, I should stay at home resting instead because the cut is quite deep. I thought I already got the ticket and it was for today only, might as well go, because other than my eye slightly uncomfortable, every thing’s alright. So I went.
$20 included RETURN ride of shuttle bus from Pasir Ris. I stayed Tampines, of cause I chose this service. When I reach Pasir Ris at about 11am, the queue to shuttle bus pick up point was very very very long. It made many many turns and I could not see the end of the queue. I guessed I needed to wait for maybe 20 buses just to get the free ride. So immediately I went to Tanah Merah, took second option. There are paid shuttle bus service from Expo MRT and some hotels in town, costs $5. I managed to get on the bus at about 1140am. And I did not know that, the nightmare just started…
The traffic jam started maybe 2 or 3 km from the location. The closer we get, the heavier the jam. It was the worst after the bus made the turn into the straight road leading to the venue. We saw many people taking cabs getting off their cabs and walked, and they were faster! But we couldn’t! The bus crawled and crawled and crawled to the designated dropping point. By the time it was already 1230pm. The Black Knights already flying! So, not wanting to waste time going into the venue, we all stood beside the big big longkang to watch. We got to queue again just to go into the place where the ticket house and security gantry are, and later queued to get through the security check. And I realized that, no one checked my ticket! No one! I saw a few staffs checking some other queues, but there were just none doing so for the other queues! Then what the hell I bought the ticket for if I can get in FREE?
After the gantry, it was another queue just to get to the display area! And there were just many many many people. You see people queuing to buy drinks, queuing to take photos with local pilots, angmoh pilots, queuing to get on some display machines to take photo again, queuing to buy coupon then later queuing to use their coupon to buy food. It was just crowds, people, crowds, queues everywhere. I got so exhausted that when I finally walked into the exhibition hall, I had totally no interest in anything. I just walked 1 round, and left.
No, the nightmare did not end there! It was another disaster to even leave the venue, and it was worse than going in! It was there I saw many red hat police officers (what are they called? Anti Riot Police? don’t know lah, those ang chiah one lah), together with Cisco and normal police, doing the job. Whole big chunk of crowd just squeezed and waited for the officers to released us so that we could rushed to the bus or taxi pickup point. The officers would released us in batches.
The worst part came when we reached the pickup points. Various queues were designated for buses going to different hotels, to Tanah Merah and Pasir Ris. But hell, I bet you can differentiate which queue was for what location. The staffs basically had to stand outside to shout for whatever bus that was in front so that people in the queue, or not in the queue can get on. Those were supposed to be paid buses but I doubt they got the time to collect money 1 by 1 (cash or Ezlink). Then, worst one was the Pasir Ris one. Whole cluster of people just squeezed, pushed, rushed to front, to chiong for the bus available. If not for the officers there, it would just be a riot. It reminded me of the scene in <<I Am Legend>> where they evacuated the NY city and everyone was escaping for their life, so messy. But even so, they were more civilized! You saw the officer in front shouted “3 more, 3 more for the 1st bus“, and the people in front of him just ignored never move and those at the back, even they wanted to also could not because they were blocked. You heard officers shouting “HOLD, HOLD“, “Don’t cut queue!” (in the 1st place, there was never any queue, just a big crowd of human). I never expected to see such scenes at a international trade shows. It was a riot scene man!
It was such a disgrace to Singapore because just beside them, there were many foreigners waiting in the long long taxi queue or the paid bus queues, and they could just see what happened. A graceful society? No way man.
I hope this is a good lesson learned for the organizer and government. The crowd management was so terrible, how are you going to manage the crowd of F1? Youth Olympic?
I think in the future, I shall ask whoever I know to make a trader pass or media pass for me, just to visit during trade day but no more public day. For people who want to take photos, you can forget it also.
Some photos of the crowd. As of aircrafts, I did not take much, and was too upset, haven’t sorted out yet.
The flying display just finished. Those inside rushed out, those outside, wanna chiong in.
People waiting outside
Still waiting
Inside, everywhere people
People people people
Taken while still inside queuing to come out. Whole stretch of human!
So many ang chiah?
I was inside the crowd. Like riot boh?
