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.
Singaporean mother Yanti Lala was on the MRT when a male stranger approached her, sitting next to her 17-month-old son Khalis in his pram. The stranger proceeded to eat a bun, and then attempted to feed the half-eaten bun to her son. Yanti, who was traveling from Jurong East to Bukit Gombak on September 11, screamed and pulled her son closer, preventing him from taking a bite.
The stranger appeared shocked and continued to eat his bun, not believing she was overreacting. Yanti, a Muslim, was concerned about the hygiene and halal status of the food. She did not have the chance to confront the stranger as they were nearing their stop, and did not report the incident to SMRT or station staff. The incident has been shared on TikTok, garnering over 118,000 views and shocking most users who condemned the stranger's behavior.
