Mum horrified after a stranger tries to feed her toddler his half-eaten pau on the MRT
The mum said she does not mind strangers showing affection towards her children, but giving them food without asking crosses a different line.
A Singapore mother expressed her shock and outrage after a stranger on the MRT offered her toddler half-eaten food. In a TikTok video, Yanti Lala described witnessing the man, who showed "no care for the rules," sitting on the MRT floor and eating a pau. When the mother, whose son Khalis was in the stroller, noticed the man reaching for the food, she immediately screamed and pulled her child closer.
The mother defended her actions, stating that while she didn't mind strangers showing affection to her children, offering them food was an entirely different matter. She emphasized that the man's saliva on the half-eaten pau was particularly concerning. Other commenters on the post agreed that the man's behavior was unacceptable, emphasizing the importance of respecting boundaries and the potential health risks involved.
Some suggested reporting the incident to SMRT staff, noting that such an action could result in a $500 fine.
