This goes back many years, back when the MRT was brand new & this happened at Raffles MRT Station, where many of us, spend our lunch time browsing there. There was only two entrances out from the Station to OUB Centre ( now ONE RAFFLES PLACE), the last one, leads to Burger King & some, eateries. From that exit, it goes directly to the MRT Station concourse & underpass, so, it was very easy, you buy a soft drink from BK...you step down, you are violating the Station rules of NO EATING & DRINKING...
SMRT stationed their personnel there...DURING LUNCH TIMES, catching unfortunate victims who step down with a soft drink in their mouth..like spider in their web waiting for their prey..quite many, were asked to show IC...some (60%) who are meek enough will get fined!!
I was telling myself, back then , wtf!....& everyday I watch the same thing play over & over again...I remark one day..someone will chase one of those SMRT bastards....true enough, that day came...there was a commotion, a office gentlemen with the drink in hand, with a shoe on the other was chasing a SMRT personnel...ha ha ha
My point is....are they really that concern in keeping the station clean or just collecting fines?? guess what, after that incident, the SMRT personnel, stopped harassing...the chase include, "KNNCB, you 'muther'..f@#@@k...you bastard "dig earth"( unsavoury term for a certain race, politically correct)...
Now, you will find that many of the MRT Station spaces have shops that sells food & drinks...beware, the sign still says NO EATING & DRINKING....
:p
