STOMPer Angel is disappointed
with the numerous times she has seen students eating and drinking
on trains. What is worse, she says they continue to eat out of
spite when she tells them not to do so.
Says Angel:
"On Nov 5, around 6.10pm, I took a train from Seng Kang to
Hougang.
"I saw a student eating Pocky sticks.
"On seeing that, I signalled to her not to eat. She glared at me
and started distributing the Pocky sticks to the other girls.
"I was appalled to see her reaction.
"I thought she would stop immediately and hopefully learn something
but her attitude and behaviour was incorrigible. So were the other
girls.
"I can see, almost once a week, people eating or drinking in the
train despite efforts to educate people not to do so.
"But what comes as a surprise is that each and every time, the ones
I see doing these are students.
"When told that they are not supposed to drink or eat, they turn
nasty, arrogant and continue to eat just to spite you.
"What happened to our youth, are these our future leaders?
"It chills me to think about this.
"What happened to the education system here, what happened to
discipline by parents?
"In other countries, I do not see such behaviour of people eating
or drinking in trains, crowding the entrances, or cutting queues
when using the escalator. Perhaps we should learn from them on how
they do it."
