"MRT handle ads a potential hazard?"

Steven sent in this picture of the hanger ads he has been noticing in the MRT trains. "These ads are distracting and could be a hazard to old people who may grab the handles wrongly," he says.
Said the STOMPer:"What happens if the train comes to an abrupt halt? "Some people, especially the elderly may have trouble with the distracting grab handles." So what do you think STOMPers?

Well the ads are made smaller so i don't really see people will grab the ads by mistake and how come the elderly are standing? Hey people give up seats for ah gong and ah ma hor.

Try to respect others even though their point of views clash with yours. He is just making an argument that the paper ads are distracting. Why stating that he will commit suicide?"This is one of the most NOOBEST arguements I've ever heard... If Steven would appear in the Arena, whole of Singapore will laugh at him so hard he'll commit suicide..."The argument is rather trivial. But, It is indeed distracting to have those paper hanging around
