I guess one thing that really irks me is to see my female
friends being molested by our foreign workers on board the MRT. We
boarded the train; there were 3 of us, 2 guys and a female friend.
Behind us, there were three INDIAN/SRI LANKAN looking foreign
workers. The train was moderately packed. When the train stopped at
Aljunied Station, 3 foreign workers while on their way out of the
train; conveniently brushed their hands against my female friends
butt, on the pretext of walking with their swaying arms. They did
it so quickly that I didnt see it. It was only after the train
moved on, that our female friend told us about this incident.
I asked her why didnt she shout and alert us? And her reply was
that she hesitated because she wasnt sure if it was a deliberate
move or not. Moreover, she was facing her back to these foreign
workers.
So ladies, the morale of the story is, once you enter a MRT train
carriage, open your eyes and spot for possible hostiles (i.e. those
construction workers), and make sure they are not standing behind
you. If this is not possible, move on to the next carriage. Every
time, when the train stops, be cautious and alert, if someone
brushes your butt, the best course of action is to shout out, stare
and stop the chap from leaving. I rather it be a false alarm, than
you regretting it later on the train, wishing that you could have
done something, but you didnt
