Blogger was arrested for making racist remarks on blog. I think that was what the story which made head lines news yesterday. I don't really know what the hell happened but I browsed through the newspaper (illegally of course) and read things like 'I didn't know people read my blog' and 'he was smelly' or maybe 'never changed his clothes for a long time' or somewhere along that line.
I'm not here to add on to whatever nonsense he left behind but this story has struck me to blog about this. This is actual evidence that Singaporeans (maybe not all but majority) are indeed too pampered. And when I say Singaporeans I mean myself too. Okay, maybe saying pampered isn't the right word but maybe the word should be 'blessed'. Yes, we Singaporeans are really blessed. Why? Let me tell you why.
Apparently he was making a remark of someone in the train, maybe someone who sat or stood beside him, who cares. Here is my point. We all hate crowded trains, who loves them (unless of course, all you want to do is grind the old woman in front of you, then I shall rest my case) but its hard to avoid the crowd when everything has gone up and public transportation is the best most cheapest mode around.
And the crowd here ain't as bad as this.
If you can't see the video, let me tell you what's in it.
1. We see commuters waiting to board the train.
2. They have to literally shove themselves in.
3. Train staff actually help this commuters shove themselves in by pushing them in like sardines.
4. I don't know what else to say. Just wait for it to load and watch it for yourselves.
At least here in Singapore, we don't have to really push ourselves in and we don't have MRT staff pushing us in. In fact we do have staffs telling us that the next train arrives in 4 minutes. And if you realize, there is still space in the train but people just don't put in the effort to move in.
So my dear fellow Singaporeans, we are blessed with good signages unlike this.
Even on crowded days it ain't as bad as this.
And help is always close by unlike this.
So the next time you want to complain, think. And maybe you won't get yourself arrested by your friendly neighbourhood policeman.
