Think again if you feel the urge to show affection publicly on
the MRT train for your partner. Such behaviour could cost you
a $500 fine as it can be an annoyance to other passengers.
A Caucasian man and his female companion was caught on
video in a very public display of affection on the MRT train. STOMP
contributor Rachel sent the clip to the online citizen journalism
website.
She also shared excerpts from the Rapid Transit Systems Act
about what constituted nuisance behaviour on MRT trains.
It read: "Under the Rapid Transit Systems Act (Chapter 263A,
Section 42):
"Section 15b - No one shall place any litter upon the railway
premises, except into receptacles expressly provided for that
purpose. (Maximum fine of $500)
"Section 17 - Passenger not to cause nuisance - No one shall
conduct himself on any train or in any part of the railway premises
so as to cause nuisance or annoyance to other passengers. (Maximum
fine of $500)"
