SMRT says that the female passenger, who was told off for eating on the MRT train by another commuter, has been given a stern warning.
This was in response to STOMPer violettulip's earlier post, where she described how an argument broke out between two male commuters, when one of them told off the other's girlfriend for eating on the train.
In an email sent to STOMP(June 24), SMRT says:
"We refer to the STOMP post “Man tells girl off for eating on MRT but gets challenged by boyfriend” (Jun 20).
"On 20 Jun at around 11.50am, the Emergency Communications Button on a northbound train was activated as two male passengers were arguing on the train.
"Our Station Manager at Yew Tee immediately responded to the alert, and escorted the two parties involved in the dispute out of the train to investigate the matter.
"The argument arose as one male passenger alleged that the female friend of the other male passenger was eating on the train.
"The Station Manager managed to settle the dispute, and the female passenger was given a stern warning not to eat or drink in the system in future.
"We wish to reiterate that eating and drinking is not allowed on our trains. Under the Rapid Transit Systems Regulation, passengers can be fined up to $500 for doing so."
