Fines on MRT

By Rolly Dash -
The authorities recently carried out a fine for punishing those who were eating or drinking on the MRT. It caught a lot of people's attention and many people had mixed opinions on that. Nevertheless, I feel that it is great that the authorities is finally taking action. I have seen so many people eating on the trains in the past and it really makes people around them feel uncomfortable.

However, the crackdown may be too harsh. Even eating someting as small as a sweet, one is liable for a fine of $30 if caught. See the newspaper article here. Perhaps, they should just fine people only if they throw the sweet wrappers on the ground.

If you ever got onto the a MRT station you will probably hear this phrase "Sila ambil perhatian demi keselamatan anda harap bediri di belakang garisan kuning." Haha, yes, it is the Malay version of "Your attention please, Please stand behind the yellow line." What I realised is that many people follow the instructions by standing behind the yellow line, but not the yellow arrows. Even though they drew arrows on the ground, many people are still standing at the centre, wanting to get into the train at the very first moment the MRT doors open. Haha. Do u agree?

These are rare in Singapore, probably because Singaporeans prefer Chwee Kueh. Haha.
