Ugly Commuters
Mum spoils schoolboy by letting him occupy 3 seats on MRT train

STOMPer zawakun was shocked to see this child lying down across three seats while his mother shielded him from the sun.

Not only that, the boy had also earlier deprived an elderly lady of a seat by choosing not to give up his seat for her although he was seated on a priority seat.

The sender wonders why the mother and her son acted in such a discourteous manner and wishes to highlight this to the public.

In an email dated October 27, STOMPer zawakun says:

"This picture was taken when I was on my way home after work.

"Amazingly, I saw this kid in school attire sitting in the priority seat. He did not gave up his seat to an old lady who came into the train!

"Afterwards, more outrageously, he started to occupy three seats! The worst thing is, the parent of the child did not stop her kid from doing so!

"How can this be the case? Singaporeans should be know how to be courteous and yet here we have this kid acting in such a way?

"I sure hope this picture can give a wake up call to all Singaporeans and parents out there.

"If not, I think that SMRT will have to make all seats priority seats."

the children are never stupid or selfish. its the parents who make them tt way. we only have the parents to blame in this situation. saddening to see human beings like this getting the opportunity to raise kids the wrong way.
