Train Tube Shocker: A Brawl That Had Passengers on the Move
What Went Down
On a quiet morning, a Facebook clip (posted September 25) caught a wild scene inside a commuter train heading toward Yio Chu Kang. In the clip, a guy in a red t‑shirt—no mask, no filter—started launching non‑stop curses and silly punches at another rider sporting a gray hoodie. The rogue in gray didn’t take it lying down, pushing the red‑shirted man to the floor right in front of a crowd.
The Final Showdown
Things escalated as both men refused to step back; the train’s fellow passengers simply shuffled away. The fight reached its peak when the red‑shirted fighter hit the ground, only for the gray‑hoodie to land a decisive kick to his face—sending him sprawled on the floor.
Public Reaction
- Video views: over 75,000 clicks on Facebook.
- Netizens: shocked and disgusted by the brutal display.
- Undetermined cause: no clear trigger disclosed.
The Aftermath
Commuters scattered as the fight reached the height of chaos, and we’re still left wondering if a simple misunderstanding or a deeper issue sparked the melee. One thing’s clear: that train ride was anything but ordinary.
When the train turned into a “traffic jam” of outrage
Picture this: an ordinary Singaporean commuter rushes into the MRT, grabs a spot on the train, and then—who would’ve thought?—gets heckled for not wearing a proper mask. The train’s “wave‑to‑greet” turned into a drama worthy of a reality‑show, and the crowd snapped videos right off the platform.
Turns out, the guy brushed off the curious gaze and left the train “just in time,” but the story spread faster than a viral meme.
Police get involved: “We’re on it!”
When the police were called in, they hit back, letting AsiaOne know that a formal complaint had been lodged and that the investigation is currently underway.
Why this matters: Covid‑19 rules are still serious business
- Fine or jail? If you’re caught wearing a mask improperly—or not at all—outside your home, the penalties can be steep:
- Up to $10,000 fine
- Up to six months in jail
- These rules look a lot like the rules you see on the TV show “Trivia” where contestants are told “you’re out of the game” when they laugh during a serious quiz.
What to take from it
Passengers, take note: being mindful of mask etiquette isn’t just about keeping the virus at bay—it’s also about avoiding a creative story for your future resumé. Keep your mask snug and your politeness punctual. And, for the record, don’t forget to check that your face is all covered—no flickery lids allowed!
We’re all in this together, but let’s keep the shenanigans away from the platform, okay?
