A netizen felt threatened after a man kept shouting at her and even wanted to pick a fight with the netizen for no reason. The woman managed to film the actions of the man and many described the man as “eccentric”.
Here is her story:
As I was coming back home from work, taking the MRT going through the Tanah Merah transit. I was playing mobile game on my phone while waiting for my transit.
Then suddenly I noticed someone was shouting loudly, I removed my earphones and realised a man sitting slightly opposite me was the cause of the commotion, worst part was that he was directing his shout at me.
I took a video of him. He continued to shout at me and became a bit violent, charging towards me to pick a fight. When my stop came, I came and asked for help at the Tampines mrt counter but unfortunately, the person in charge didn’t even bother to help me or listen me out.
He just asked me to head over to police station to make a report. I thought Singapore is a safe country where priority is given for safety, but here my plea for help was ignored.
I hope the Singapore authorities will not take such behavior lightly if there is a commotion in a public transport or at least help to investigate on matters such as this.
