    Pihak Polis Siasat Bantahan Dalam MRT Yang Berlalu Pada Sabtu Lalu

    Aduan polis sudah dibuat terhadap bantahan yang diadakan di dalam kereta api pada hari Sabtu (3 Jun) dan pihak polis mengesahkan bahawa ia sedang menyiasat aduan tersebut.

    Bantahan itu diadakan bagi menentang penahanan yang berlaku 30 tahun lalu di bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA).

    Pada Mei 1987, 22 orang ditahan di bawah Operasi Spectrum dan dituduh terlibat dengan pakatan Marxis untuk mewujudkan sebuah negara komunis.

    Menyusuli pelancaran sebuah buku pada bulan lalu oleh bekas tahanan bagi menandakan ulang tahun penahanan mereka, para aktivis mengadakan bantahan secara aman di Laluan Utara-Selatan dengan menutup mata mereka dengan kain sambil memegang buku “1987: Singapore’s Marxist Conspiracy 30 years on”.

    Aktivis sosial Jolovan Wham turut mengongsi gambar-gambar mengenai bantahan itu di Facebooknya, yang kini tersebar online.

    Pihak polis menyatakan,” Sesiapa yang mempunyai sebarang maklumat boleh menghantarkannya online di www.police.gov.sg/iwitness. Semua maklumat akan dirahsiakan.”

  • Woman Stands By Her Complaints Of FT MRT Seat Hoggers

    Woman Stands By Her Complaints Of FT MRT Seat Hoggers

    SEE HOW INCONSIDERATE, UNREASONABLE AND SELFISH THESE PEOPLE CAN BE . . . . .

    Contrary to what her husband had posted, I was not the one who was telling lies. What I had posted in Facebook was nothing but the truth. There was indeed no empty seat at the point of time as I entered and walked from one end of the two rows of seats to that reserved seat in question. If indeed there were other empty seats as claimed by her husband, Jenny, as the person that she was, would not have asked her wife for the seat that was reserved for seniors and other physically challenged people which their son’s legs had invaded into. We must not tell lies and we must have a clean conscience of the facts.

    I do not think that it is a matter of right or wrong for her son to take up one seat whether or not he has a ticket. To have her son’s legs invading into one third of the space of the seat that is reserved for seniors and other physically challenged people and refusing to budge, is a blatant disregard of consideration to seniors and other physically challenged people. It is all simply a matter of showing graciousness, consideration and courtesy to fellow commuters. It is up to a person’s generosity and choice whether she wants to be gracious or not. A good example of graciousness that I have ever encountered is seeing three little children taking up only two seats and thus freeing one seat for someone who needs it more than they do.

    My husband said, to quote: “If they are Singaporeans they are being ungracious. However, if they are foreigners, we will forgive them.”

    There was no point to reason with such unreasonable people in the train and to avoid an ugly confrontation seeing how aggressive they were and I was only a single helpless lady, what more could I do under such circumstances, then to take a picture.

    Contrary to what her husband said, I had no malicious intention in taking the picture. It was a rare sight that I could not miss – a couple sitting with the wife carrying a small child whose legs had invaded into the seat reserved for seniors and other physically challenged people and who adamantly refused to move their son’s legs to allow a senior to sit. It was indeed a rare picture that one would not chance upon again in the next 100, 200 years or more. A picture tells a thousand words.

    Feeling disgusted and just before exiting the train, I have taken the picture to show to my great grandniece, grandnieces and grandnephews to inculcate in them a right sense of graciousness, consideration and courtesy to all mankind. And I am pleased with the over 90% of positive responses from so many people who are able to view things in the right perspective. A very big thank you to all these people for sharing their point of view. I certainly appreciate your invaluable responses which are very encouraging.

    My post is to get feedback and opinion from the public. Now that I have got what I want I am satisfied. I do not wish to waste my precious time on this matter anymore as what I have posted is the truth.

  • Husband Of Alleged MRT Seat Hogger Set The Facts Straight

    Husband Of Alleged MRT Seat Hogger Set The Facts Straight

    Am the Husband of the lady whose pic has been posted without her permission . Am the guy sitting right next to her . Let me get the facts straight .

    For a major portion of the journey my Son was sitting on the seat . He felt sleepy and climbed into her mothers lap. During the entire journey no one , absolutely no one came and asked for the seat .

    There were other empty seats available , intact on my left . So my question is why did Whing want to sit on a seat that’s reserved for kids , physically handicapped ppl and elderlies . Whing never came and asked for the seat and she is blatantly lying here . There were many seats available .

    We are involved in multiple charities in Singapore and stupid racial comments is the last thing we want to hear.

    This post violates the privacy of my family and is made with malicious intent only to get eyeballs. To all those who are Jumping to conclusions ,it’s my humble request to please read this message and let truth win. My Wife and kid are being victimised unnecessarily .

    I request this post to be taken off immediately and I am going to report this matter to police .

  • Goh Meng Seng: How About Naming MRT Stations After David Marshall And J B Jeyaretnam?

    Goh Meng Seng: How About Naming MRT Stations After David Marshall And J B Jeyaretnam?

    PAP has never asked Singaporeans what name to use for any MRT station but why now? Basically Wayang!

    They want people to suggest LKY station!

    But I say since two stations are near Anson, which David Marshall and JBJ had won their seats as MP, they should name David Marshall station and JBJ Station!

    Especially for David Marshall who was our FIRST Chief Minister

  • Drunk Ah Peck Step Gay, Harasses Handsome Mat Saleh On MRT Because He Thinks Mat Saleh ‘Signal’ Him

    Drunk Ah Peck Step Gay, Harasses Handsome Mat Saleh On MRT Because He Thinks Mat Saleh ‘Signal’ Him

    Hey Singapore friends: just a heads up, this guy physically assaulted me on the MRT, so if you ever see him, be on your guard. I was with a friend and he approached me–drunk–and said he was gay, and that he wanted to fuck me. He said, “I know you’re gay, so let’s fuck.”

    This went on for several minutes and I tried to politely diffuse the situation, but then he began to yell at my friend when she intervened; I wouldn’t let this stand, and started to become angry myself. He threatened her, and some other people on the train intervened (several were filming). He touched me, and I told him not to, and I briefly lost my temper–after that he slapped me on the side of the head. He kept going on and on, and when a woman tried to take his picture, he attempted to kick her phone out of her hand. When my friend and I got off at our stop, he got off as well, but we managed to evade him and leave the station without him following us.

    For those of you that don’t know: I’m not gay (not that it should matter). However, I don’t exactly fit the “masculine” mold of society, so oftentimes I am mistaken as queer–on several occasions around the world, for example, I’ve caught flak for carrying a “man purse.” On a personal level, this is why I need feminism: so I can be confident in myself and not feel like I have to fulfill any gender role assigned to me. However, I do appreciate that women probably have to deal with this shit (or at least the threat of it) on a fairly regular basis.

     

    I wish I’d said thank you to the train people who took a stand and put themselves between me and this man, but I was too rattled to muster it (at least I could thank my friend, who had the good sense to make a video). I wish I’d sat in a different train car, and the whole situation could’ve been avoided. Was it the V-neck I was wearing? My ripped skinny jeans? I probably should have held my temper, but that’s not my character. Could I have found a way to peacefully diffuse the whole situation? It’s obviously not my fault but, somehow, a part of me is convinced it was.
