Scary encounter with pregnant lady in Sengkang LRT, what to do in this situation?
Hello everyone. So some context : I have a 7 years old sister and because my mom is working (single mom), I usually have to fetch her after her school ends at 1-2pm. We would take the LRT west line home from Sengkang MRT.
One day last week, the LRT was crowded as usual and we were standing beside the reserve seat near the front door. A pregnant malay lady was standing near behind my sister leaning against a pole, while her mother maybe in her 60s was seated down on the reserve seat right by us.
When the LRT started moving, I noticed the pregnant lady lost her balance and almost fell down, immediately after she regained her balance, turned to me and my sister and shouted “YOU ALL PUSHED ME IS IT?”
We were just pretty shocked and said no, I mean like wtf why would we push a pregnant lady in a crowded LRT??? Then she started saying “You don’t lie I saw you pushed me” At this point my sister started tearing up in shock, and I had to console her.
The lady then proceeded to say all sorts of vulgarities like CCB, NB etc.. The pregnant lady’s mother sitting right by us also joined in and say she saw us pushing her daughter, and some scolding in malay which I dont understand
I just decided to alight at the next stop as I was just so scared and embarrassed at this point, and nobody stood in to help defend us.
I’m pretty sure that the pregnant lady was embarrassed after she lost her balance and just decided to use us as the reason.
Not sure if anyone encountered them before, it definitely traumatized my little sister as she has started to tell me that she doesn’t wanna take the LRT being scared that we may encounter these mother and daughter duo again.
Not sure how I can better handle this situation in future, and is there anything I could do about them?
