What would you do if you were a female passenger on the MRT and a male passenger started harassing you?
A lovely, young female colleague of mine had that frightening experience last week. While watching a movie on her smartphone in a somewhat empty train cabin, a guy in his 30s who was sitting two seats away from her – with an empty seat separating them – reached out his hand and brushed her upper arm. She regarded him, whereupon he started making a face – moving his lips to simulate a kiss. She ignored him and carried on watching her movie, but the man repeated this several times.
My colleague then stopped her movie and looked around, hoping that someone would have noticed and perhaps come to her aid. To her horror, the weirdo followed her and stood in front of her. Thankfully, the man left the train at the next station. She said the person did appear to her to be mentally unsound, and she was also reluctant to create a scene in case she ended up becoming famous because of social media.

Man disappointed after crowd took photos of accident victim instead of helping to lift bus, Singapore News. SINGAPORE (THE NEW PAPER) - Mr Albert Leow was at home when he heard a loud crash. When he looked out the window, he was horrified to see a man pinned under an SBS Transit double-decker bus. Mr Leow called the police and rushed down to help the victim. Recalling a video showing a group of people lifting a lorry to free a trapped victim in an accident in July last year, Mr Leow, 41, thought the 20 to 30 people who had gathered there could do the same.
But he was dismayed when several of them were more interested in taking pictures and videos of the trapped man instead of helping him. His HDB flat at Block 662, Hougang Avenue 9, overlooks the scene of the accident, which occurred opposite Ci Yuan Community Club at 10.30am on Sept 30. TO TAKE PHOTOS OR HELP? A pedestrian, Mr Lim Chin Soon, 51, was trapped under the front left wheel of SBS Transit Bus Service 72.
