A video showing a drunk man appearing to vomit before allegedly urinating inside an MRT train has gone viral on social media once again, leading some users to believe it was a recent incident.
However, the footage is not new.
Posts circulating on Facebook, Reddit and other platforms over the past few days have reshared the clip without context, prompting confusion among viewers over when the incident actually took place.
Old Video Resurfaces Online
Several social media users were quick to point out that the video had already circulated online around two years ago, with many commenting that it was “old news” rather than a newly recorded incident.
Others urged netizens to stop resharing outdated videos as if they had just happened, noting that doing so could unnecessarily alarm members of the public.
The exact date and location of the footage have not been independently verified.
Public Reacts To Viral Clip
Despite being an old video, the footage has continued to attract strong reactions online, with many expressing disgust over the man’s behaviour.
Some commenters questioned why no one appeared to intervene during the incident, while others speculated that the man may have been heavily intoxicated.
The resurfaced clip has also reignited discussions about maintaining cleanliness and proper behaviour on public transport.
Similar MRT Incidents Have Made Headlines
Singapore has seen several public urination cases at MRT stations in recent years, with authorities taking action against offenders.
In 2025, a man was fined the maximum S$2,000 after urinating on an escalator handrail at Outram Park MRT station while intoxicated. Other public urination incidents at Tanah Merah and Potong Pasir MRT stations were also investigated or prosecuted during the same period.
As the old video continues to circulate online, netizens are reminded to verify the date and context of viral content before sharing it, as outdated footage can easily be mistaken for a new incident.
