NSF SAT DOWN IN BUS WITH LOTS OF EMPTY SEATS, KENA STARE AS IF HE KILLED SOMEONE

NSFs sitting in public transport

Is there any rule which specifically forbid soldiers (especially NSFs) wearing uniforms from sitting down in bus or MRT despite having lots of empty seats?

Had a book-out experience where a 18-20ish years old female death-staring at me for sitting down (non-reserved seats) in a 90% empty bus as if I had just murdered Spongebob.

Plus all the stomps and complains on social media regarding soldiers sitting in public transport. Most of it by females… although some are by uncles / aunties, but majority by girls…

Any thoughts?

Edit: to those who said NS ppl shldnt complain and “stop being weak”, “females have it much tougher” blabla yadayada, your parents should be ashamed of you.

Netizens’ comments

1. nah i paid for the fare i deserve to sit down. i just ignore the people staring
2. Please sit, DGAF about them. You paid for the ride, you are entitled to an available seat. Heck, that time a recruit sat at a reserved seat and i didnt even bother to give him any looks because i know he was probably exhausted.
   But of course, situational awareness abit. if the train is crowded and someone in need boards then its wise to give it up.
   Its damn unfortunate that our serviceman are all subjected to such derogatory remarks all over the place.
3. Bro damn lucky leh u got so many girls staring at u… They just cant stop thinking abt u.
   Always keep a positive mindset bro. If they’re staring at u, means they’re infatuating over u…
4. Honestly, don’t worry so much about what others think as NSFs are also paying customers who are definitely allowed to sit down. Such people who complain really have nothing better to do and just want to stir things. However, if the train/bus is crowded and i do see someone in need like an old person, i’ll just give up my seat out of my own good will ah
