STOMPER Azlina, who is 6 months pregnant, was shocked when she spotted this boy pretending to fall asleep in the priority seat when he saw her entering the train. SMRT staff should keep a lookout for people who abuse these seats, the STOMPer added.

In an email to STOMP today (Mar 18), the STOMPer says:

“Think SMRT should do something about their priority seats.

“I think the poster is still not big enough for these people to see!

“I’m 6 months pregnant and I snapped this picture of a boy who pretended to sleep once I entered the train.

“I was amazed!

“What’s the point of SMRT getting their staff to be stationed at the platform just to alert patrons to stand behind the yellow line?

“They should open their eyes wider to see those who abuse the priority seats. 

“I suggest SMRT should plan and be pro-active, and not just putting up a poster or big stickers or paying for expensive advertisements.”
