SINGAPORE, the world's third wealthiest nation, most competitive nation in Asia, she is taking several crown in her pocket. Probably she might find it hard to keep those prices properly as there are too much. As nation developed, the authority seems wanted its people's behavior also improved. We could find a common sign saying "Be Considerate" everywhere especially on public transport vehicles. In the hectic life, people are increasingly inpatient in their daily route. On public transport, in work, in society, etc.
It was rainy Sunday. My wife and I were going to the Singapore Air Show 2012 by train. We two are standing in the middle of MRT carriage. There is one young woman who is apparent a lesbian sitting in the priority seat. Beside her is a upper middle age man. Both of them are in front of us and train is not so crowd. She is enjoying music by shaking her legs. She is much like a man rather than woman. The old man appear dislike her manner on the way she is enjoying and started to talk her by Chinese. The woman reply a bit and continue to enjoy her act. Gradually, the two's temper become aggressive and started to quarrel. Man's wife who is sitting about three passenger away stand up and step in to disrupt the quarreling. When the wife involve, the man show more anger and punch a young woman with his forceful arm. The situation become worse and nearby passengers moved away to avoid the incident. Some young Chinese man rush in and tried to separate. The young woman seem hurt by mature man and shout at him loudly by Chinese. I don't understand what they are shouting at. But for sure is the more people concern, the two parties become more aggressive and show how brave they are. They are much cooler when nobody aware their matter.
Few stations later, a young woman alighted. Just before she step out, she showed her fist to man and challenged him to come out of train for fight. The man rushed at doors, his wife pulled all the way, he angrily push back wife and forward. Some fellow young Chinese passengers helped to control the man. Train doors closed and the journey continued. The man stand up and see what station is it and look at the lesbian lady through window. People not dare to return seats which are vacant. Next station, new passengers come in and sit on vacant seats. My wife and I also stayed away from the troublesome man. I don't know why angry like that for a small reason. It can be settled by a nice talking. Perhaps lesbian woman is foreign worker and an old couple seem local resident. Anyhow, they both are Chinese and can easily communicate the dislike. Our happy imagination on upcoming air show are at least shortly gone.
If Singapore is supposed to be first world country, she definitely needs to convince her people to act as first world citizen manner. Otherwise, such behavior might affect Singapore's reputation. Of course, it won't be easy to upgrade all walk of life to become first world citizen as Singapore is multi ethnic country. But I believe in Singapore's ability in handling the matter to become smart from scrap. Hopefully, there won't be necessary to make public fighting is crime and punishable in future. May all passenger have a safe and enjoyable trip whenever they use public transport.
