A 60 year old Singaporean aunty was slapped on her face by a foreigner on a MRT train after she asked her politely to remove  her bag on a ‘priority seat’, prompting her angry son to lodge a police report:

The incident took place yesterday morning when the aunty boarded the train at Sembawang MRT station. It was packed like cans of sardines and she was unable to find a seat.

When she saw a foreigner lady put her bag on a priority seat reserved for the elderly, she politely asked her to remove it. Instead of doing so, the foreigner accused the Singaporean aunty of being rude. An argument broke out between the duo and the foreigner raised her right hand to slap the aunty.

After the altercation, the aunty alighted at Admiralty MRT station and lodged a complaint to the MRT Control Room whose staff told her straight in the face:

“You go and beat her back lah!”

The saga sparked widespread outrage among netizens though many felt it is pretty pointless to lodge a police report.

Hardwarezone forumer ‘solidghost’ put it succinctly:

“Make report I think also useless loh. You know Singapore govt will not do anything against foreigners one. Even if they hurt you till got blood, they will do nothing one. Maybe 1 year later if you complain a lot, they will prosecute them then allow them to leave the country. Don’t say I got no proof. I got.”
