1a) what was the reason for building the platform doors at the MRT stations?
b) Which other countries already have such doors installed at train stations?
2) What is your opinion of commuters on trains who disregard the rules (no eating/drinking, give up seats for the elderly/ the disabled/ pregnant women etc.) on the train?
1a) to keep passengers away from the train tracks and the platform doors opening when the trains halting when they are at the station would help prevent anyone from plunging into it be it accident or for stupid reasons like suicide.
b) Paris and Taipei are also countries that are safety conscience about accidents or cases related to people falling into the rails and getting rammed by speedy trains or getting rescued by bystanders or the station staffs.
2) My opinion of commuters is that they are stupid, idiotic or shy. Firstly, we all know that Singaporeans are renowned for their so-called lineage of selfishness and ego; therefore they always have thoughts of being superior or being soft by giving up on their seats. Why would they compare them with their selves when they have a huge age margin? Isn’t that stupid and also giving up your seat doesn’t kill and your friends would probably have a greater impression on you, if they tease you, then they are stupid, if they think they are weak if they help out weak people, then stop being friends with them, they are the one who will probably lead you astray as this kind of behaviour is most favoured among pigs like hooligans and gangsters who think that to expressed one’s manly hood is to shun or lookdown upon weaklings. Then let me ask you what do you get out of that kind of manly hood? You would probably start doing even more atrocious things to express that you are superior in it and in the end police would offer you a trip to their station and a free package of being detained in their station and summoned to the court afterwards. For those who eat in the train for ridiculous reasons like “I think its fun to flout the laws” or “I want to eat anytime it want”, then you are like an idiot, thinking that asking for trouble is a fantasy or entertainment. If you really want to eat so much then who not have to police there to give you a serving of fine? I bet the food serving isn’t enough to keep you going for a day? Oh I almost forgot that fine is very hazardous to you like unhealthy food. For married couples, your husband or wife will be like a time bomb when she or he heard about the “fantastic” words on a letter that says your fined! I bet she would “explode” when you reach home and fallout with you, by then you would have to explain till your throats dry. For most the fine is painstaking to pay, you would probably end up in tears when you as a children/teen/adult have to fork out your pocket money or part of your salary to pay it; wow that’s an expensive cuisine on the train!!!
