Man snatches priority seat from elderly man

This man not only snatched an elderly man’s seat, he also had the cheek to confront me when I took a picture of him, says STOMPER Jonny.

In an email to STOMP today (Jan 29), the STOMPer says:

“At 6:50am, I was on the MRT train with my dad from Clementi. I was going to Raffles Place and my dad, Bedok. It was crowded.

“My dad is frail. He clutched tightly to the handrail like he was holding on for dear life.

“Near Tiong Bahru station, we heard a ruffle behind us and noticed a lady adjusting herself, signaling she was getting up from the priority seat.

“I alerted my dad and said aloud that a seat is becoming available. The guy standing near us looked at us and started inching closer to the seat.

“My dad understood him and said ‘nevermind, let him have it...’. The very second the woman left, the guy slipped into the seat without showing shame.

“I got really angry, so I took out my iPhone and snapped a picture of him.

“Apparently the girl now sitting next to him was his friend, and told him that she heard a click sound from my phone. Ironically, the guy who so eagerly sat down was even more eager now to get up and confront me on whether I took picture of them!

“Well, if you’re afraid, don't do anything that you will regret later.”

Dear reader, elderly and mrt operator
I have seen lots of these but even we complain all we want- this will go on. I feel tat mrt operator or goverment should allow elderly to take these seats by asking and by showing their elderly mrt card. Or they have this right since it is labelled. Everyone agree?

“My dad is frail. He clutched tightly to the handrail like he was holding on for dear life." wats up wit this line.. really holding for dear life then u should have taken a cab... ur iphone.. alrite u could have jus stated hp u know.. n mayb he needed to sit down .. do u even know if he was feeling alrite... u guys take picture of all these n put it up.. but do u ppl even know their condition.. wat if he is advised not to stand for long cause a knee injury.. can u decide if he is a strong guy or not jus by lookin at him... ok y didnt u take the picture of hte girl... y only the reserved seats must be given up is it? the others all u can sit down.. come on.. in this picture it looks like he is sitting down for a long time.. i can twist the story jus by lookin at this pic... so b4 u post get to know his real prob 1st...
