Simple, If she was worried about being too close to someone, she simply could have stood up and moved away. The rest of the world does not have to change for her convenience.

Silly woman, next thing she will be reserving the whole row of seats for herself.

my guess is that the lady has some prejudice against indian guys… felt insecure and unsafe, so she said that.

not that it justifies her reasoning or action.

To this kind of anti-social woman, just request the bus captain to stop the bus
and kindly ask her to alight and take a taxi. What a snob !!

She is not crazy. This is the result of flooding our tiny island with cheap foreign labour. Many of these women come from countries with conservative cultures. Where men and women are separated. It happens even in some regions of India.

This is now becoming very common. As each foreigner brings his or her own quirky lifestyle here, things will become worse.

in UAE…i had taken the local buses before…several front seats are designated for women…generally almost all guys knw they are not supposed to sit there even if they are not taken..could the alleged person in this incident be someone from that part of the world or simply trying to enforce her rights here? In any case…quite disturbing…

maybe the lady was told since young by her mother that she would be pregnant if any man touches her, wow! she probably still living in the stone age era.

HAHA!

First time hearing this occurring in Singapore! Hilarious! As a guy, my manifesto is – the lady is always right, and don’t argue with them.

If she says ‘no’ than be it. Just continue standing. Arguing with women can be a real pain, and more often that not preventing the argument is always better.

It’s not a tiny matter. Take a closer look – it actually reflects the kind of shallow and suspicious mindset that is with our youths nowadays. And it’s a sad thing.

It’s good to know that ignorance is alive and well. Poor lady, she needs to get out more.

Aiyah, the lady prolly not educated enough in sex education lah. Everyone knows you cannot get pregnant from skin-to-skin contact.

You oni get pregnant if you kiss with tongue.

Just a misunderstanding lah.

I meant why in the 1st place the MSM published a trivial little tiny matter that we should not sweat about it?

Why did a man spent so much effort to write something as TRIVIAL as not getting a seat ?

In the 1st place the MSM published it?

I am sure the seats are not wid enough. Cannot really blame ladies, who are by biology more sensitive than men. Maybe the man is too big size ?

I am not sure has any Reader at in a MRT type of train overseas in an angmoh lan to be able to tell if SMRT seats are smaller for Asian sizes. Singapore also have many ang mohs. The seats should be angmoh size given youths are all bigger than ever even if asian.

The question i would ask is the passenger who sat next to the woman,was it male or female?If the roles were reversed,if a male was seated,a female passenger wanted to sit beside him,if he had refused just because he’s a guy,he would not like to be “touched” by a female,how would she react or throw tantrums?

As a fare-paying passenger,you have every right to sit wherever you want to,if that’s how the woman reacts,just ignore her,test it by seating next to her,no need to argue,or find another seat where you feel comfortable,i know how you feel,any other guy in your situation will feel the same way too!

PS : This is Singapore we are talking about,unless if the govt decides to implement all male & all female ONLY bus & MRT transportation,that would be seen as sexist & ridiculous,this is the 21st century,live & let live!
