In yet another outburst among stressed-up Singaporeans, a stroller incident caused two couples to flare up at one another.
The shouting match took place at the Sembawang MRT Station on 29 October.
A young woman was pushing her stroller when it knocked into an older woman, who fell down.
An argument ensued between the two women, and joined in by their husbands.
Even as witnesses felt that the younger woman was in the wrong, she refused to apologise and scolded the older woman instead.
At one point, the younger woman’s husband asked, “So what do you want now?”
Things got so heated up that three MRT staff and a security guard tried to intervene to calm the situation.
Eventually the police had to be called in before things would simmer down.
The couples left after they were warned by the police.

Quarrels and fights have become commonplace in Singapore now, as pent up Singaporeans take to one another to release their tensions.
Several surveys have ranked Singaporeans as one of the unhappiest people on the planet.
Singaporeans also work the longest hours in the world and earn one of the lowest pay among the developed countries.
Meanwhile, the cost of living has risen so dramatically that Singapore is now the most expensive city in the world to live in.
Not surprising then that Singaporeans have become so stressed and easy to erupt in anger.
In a country where letting off one’s steam has used to be done through the quiet repression of one’s feelings, the intensity of the city-state’s inequality have caused many to break at the seams, and let it all out.
If the authorities do not take swift action soon to evolve the policies to mediate the social effects, the stress and anger levels that continue to rise may one day reach boiling point, which can have detrimental social effects.
