STOMPer bruised nose wonders how the management of Singapore Expo chose to place advertisements on glass panels of doors. He feels that this will compromise the safety of visitors of the place.

Said the STOMPer:

"This picture was taken at Foyer 2 of Singapore Expo.

"There were glass doors separating Foyer 2 and Hall 6.

"However the advertisement panels were put up in such a way as to cover 98% of the glass panels.

"As I was about to enter Hall 6, the door was suddenly pushed against me and I suffered a bruised nose.

"The lady who pushed the door apologised to me but the damage that was caused could not be undone.

"I wonder how the management of Singapore Expo could have chosen to put up these advertisement panels to cover the glass doors, compromising the safety of visitors.

"Advertisements should not be allowed to override the safety of pedestrians and visitors who flocked here in the thousands."
