‘How selfish do you want to be?’—Singapore woman shocked after man uses plastic bags to chope space in front of MRT platform doors
While the unattended bags initially made her wonder if they were suspicious, she said what happened next was even more surprising — a whole new level of “chope”. This article ( ‘How selfish do you want to be?’—Singapore woman shocked after man uses plastic bags to chope space in front of MRT platform doors ) first appeared on The Independent Singapore News .
A Singaporean woman expressed her shock on TikTok after witnessing a man using plastic bags to reserve a space at an MRT platform. "How selfish do you want to be?" she asked in response to the man's actions. The commuter had placed the bags he had used for shopping in front of the MRT platform doors, allowing him to be the first to enter the train.
Ms Echo (@echoyq) was waiting for a train when she noticed the unattended bags, which did not seem to belong to a nearby woman. While contemplating whether to inform MRT staff, the train arrived, and the man, who had been seated nearby, stood up, picked up his bags, and blocked the doors without offering any space to other passengers.
Ms Echo expressed her disappointment, stating that this behavior was a new low in terms of courtesy and that it highlighted how selfish some people have become. She questioned whether awareness of being considerate towards others should be ingrained from a young age, given that people live together in a society. Ms Echo also expressed concern over the messages being conveyed to the next generation and wondered what could be done to address such behavior.
