Quiet MRT

NewAge SG

Thanks to a grp of dumb ppl i finally realise the use of sign language. The government shld impose a rule that ppl shld communicate in sign language in MRT as a result MRT will be noise pollution free. HAHA then i will be able to sleep in them.

Haha. Very nice. Then Singapore will be a quiet society. Then we should elect dumb PMs to represent us. We'll be a quiet little red dot.
How I wish Singaporeans would be more innovative and try out newer things. Like voting a dumb MPs into our gahmen and elect dumb CEOs. Positive influence will lead us into the new 21st century. Now, that';s really risk-taking!

I do believe they are referred to as hearing-impaired and NOT dumb.

NewAge SG

okay. they are deaf. is there any suggestion to make MRT quieter? Beside banning ppl frm using it

mercedes_hispano SG

Yeah, but hearing-impaired means they can still talk. Unless you're referring to them as 'mute'. Then it;s a different thing. They can;t talk, can hear, and have to communicate in sign language.
Being hearing-impaired won;t stop ppl from talking at the top of their voices.

Small kids not allowed? they seem to run all over the place and play as if the mrt is playground like that. Mad

mercedes_hispano SG

Yeah. If that’s the case, we don;t we all wish that ppl should be born dumb. Then kids wouldn’t be too noisy then.

SexyChin SG

This is quite true. I have seen those deaf people shouting or screaming in the public. Kind of an irony, you can't hear what you have shouted.

SexyChin SG

The kids can still run around. Chop off their legs? Laughing

mercedes_hispano SG

This problem of consideration has always been the silent agony of many public transport users, I suppose. Perhaps innovative posters or ads can be put up to encourage ppl to shut up in trains, or talk softly as they do in the library. The same way as how those Chew-on-it posters encourage ppl to pee accurately into urinals.

NewAge SG

how about banning people who have a big mouth i am sure it will lower the noise level?

mercedes_hispano SG

Yeah. Proper education for kids. Their bad behaviour can be recorded into their conduct cards. Ez link sound sensor can help in recording demerit points
hehe

SexyChin SG

Maybe they should also set a rule to stop people from blasting the stupid ringtones and mp3s on the train? The mrt people should force everyone to set the phones to silent.

mercedes_hispano SG

That'll do. But you can;t possibly put in smrt personnels in every train to smack a fine on those who speak too loud.

If he encounters a grp, who's to be fined? Fine all?
Plus it;s possible if a gang of teens would pick a fight against the smrt guy.

SexyChin SG

Simply put those punks in the boy's home.
Then we would have less of these punks wandering the streets.
Twisted Evil

NewAge SG

How about following the british system, punishing the parents for the child mistake?

mercedes_hispano SG

Yeah.. I agree
I got scolded for using my hp to sms in the cinema last yr. If ppl can just ask those beside them to stop blasting stupid ringtones, like in the cinema.
Adopt that same attitude on public transport.

If we can;t do that, then we;re nowhere towards a world-class society, at all.

use a masking tape to shut pple’s mouth for those r going into the MRT….....

mercedes_hispano SG

France also has that 'parents to pay' method. But problems would surely arise.
I think it could cause a possible strain within child and parent.

SexyChin SG

Masking tape very expensive leah.
Very Happy
