STOMPer Leticia was annoyed to see a bus driver
allowing and a passenger to bring a supermarket trolley onto the
bus and even helping her to get on board. The STOMPer is worried
that the trolley might pose a danger to other passengers.

"I could not believe what I'd seen with my own eyes on Wednesday
night at 8pm.
"After a tiring day at work, I couldn't wait to go home to have my
dinner. When I was queuing to take a Comfort Delgro shuttle bus to
my condominium, I noticed this well-dressed woman 'in heels'
queuing with a full supermarket trolley. I thought
to myself, 'Why don't she just take a cab?!!'
" When the bus arrived, she went up and spoke to the
driver. The rest of us had to wait for her before we could
board. She moved aside as the driver waved to us to signal us
to board the bus. When I got my seat, I thought to myself
again, 'She can't be asking the driver to help her to bring up all
her shopping bags.' When all the passengers had boarded the
bus, the driver went to help her to bring not just the shopping
bags on to the bus, but with the trolley too.
"I said 'ridiculous' loudly enough for other passengers to hear and
they all looked at me. One of the passengers in front of me agreed
and said that we needed to take pictures of this. I whipped
out my iPhone and took photos. She was aware of all
these. Guess what?? When the bus door was closed, the trolley
was blocking the bus entrance. Shouldn't both of them consider
about the safety hazard?
"During the ride, the driver and the woman started
conversing. Now I know why the driver helped her --
they are both
PRCs. Is this the right attitude of a bus
driver?? The woman did not dare to look at us the whole time,
but she still had the cheek to tell the driver that she would
be taking his bus the next day to return the trolley!!!!! I
was speechless!!
"When it was time to alight at the first stop, she had the driver
to help her brought the trolley down. Watch the video
carefully!! She knew she was being recorded but she refused
to look up.
"Singapore is not a place for you to do what you want as if you
were in your own country. This is what has caused all
Singaporeans to be disgusted with badly-behaved
immigrants. Obviously, she must have gotten in here through
money and not through her education or professional skills. It
really makes us Singaporeans look bad especially to foreigners who
might think that these badly-behaved people are Singaporeans.
I wish the government would take a closer look at these
immigrants. I believe that we can't be so desperate that we
need such people in our country. It is already bad enough that
Singaporeans are known to be unfriendly.
"I would like this to be shared to the other
Singaporeans."
