HSBC staff refused to give up Reserved Seats for old folk!!!!
- Thread starter eErotica69
- Start date
The chap should ask the old man who he voted for......if PAP then tell the old man he deserves it
Check out his name and ic number....confirm chinaman.
Locals of his generation seldom have hanyu pinyin-ish names and the ic starts with 00.........
Jason wang yueh ming
ic:S0028421A tel:96172353
I really don't see what this has anything to do with HSBC. It is bizarre why they felt they had to apologize on this guy's behalf. Short of creating carriages solely for the use of Seniors, Pregnant mums and parents with young kids and handicapped persons, this issue is never gonna go away. Personally, if the young chap chooses not to give up his seat, that's his choice but for the old man to make such a big deal out of it is quite sad.
Anyway, why is this kind of story even making it to the newspapers? Waste of print space.

SMRT/SBS contributed to this problem when they stuck those labels marking those seats for the elderly, pregnant, etc. It set expectations that those seats were reseved for certain people.
If SMRT/SBS is really concerned about these group of people they can reserve one carriage for them. They've done it in places like India & Japan where certain carriages are for females, to avoid groping. However they can't even cope with the crowds & it will have have an impact on their bottom line & record profits
lianbeng likes ur idea. "submit ur proposal to transport mister leh."
This is the type of story that serves to distract Sporeans from the problems being caused by the PAP & their policies. The way the story is slanted is that it is an argument between a young men & a senior citizen.
However many should be asking why we have such incidents
Hint: it is because of overcrowding in Spore & it's going to get worse

I suspect that SMRT has already received many good suggetions(i.e. complaints) to improve their service
Being a GLC & monopoly they can simply ignore the suggestions that do not increase their bottomline
Going by his ic, he would have been the 28421st person to register for his ic.
System to allocated ic number back then was based mostly on age with a few exceptions.
Check around with those born before 1967 and you will get a rough gauge of age vs ic number. The older a person the smaller his ic number will be.
Though the prefix 2 was traditionally used for ic numbers for PR turned citizens last time, I think the govt has drop this practice to blur the distinction.
Sorry I din make my point clear enough.
As wiki info stated, all those born before 1967 had ic starting with 0 or 1.
Using age as a guide in most cases, the older a person the smaller his ic number.
For example I am in the 50plus age group, my ic starts with 13. My parents in their 80s have ic starting with 03. Someone younger than me will have a number after 13.
Though this Wang is 63, his ic would unlikely start with 00 if he is native born. More likely 00 belonged to someone who had passed on long ago and the ic number 'recycled' to this Wang when he took up citizenship.
if you interact with the staff of smrt, you will find that they quite stone in their thinking and the way they react too. bor hao siao...glc hire mostly who can't make it in the foreign mncs.

oi,siao eh! your thinking very selfish, old people are slower and easily hurt physically. so be nice to them,okay!
From his IC Number, definitely local range and not recycled; have friends much older than him and the number is smaller. Usually the IC number is not recycled IIRC. Old man has his IC with the 3rd lowest number when he was assigned; special privillages I presumed.
As for the S2x series; the usual cases is PRs turn citizens usually with the influx of immigration from neighbouring countries.
The minority cases are those born in Singapore with no legal birth papers , given away at birth for adoption or such. Renmants of the pre and post war era when anything goes !
Another scenario are Chinese Singaporeans born and bred on this island fled to boleh land when old man came to power or before the merger gave birth to offsprings and came back. Offsprings became PR. Or the myth of an entire system being use to track those born between 63 to independence started soon after.
None of this would happen if our govt followed up on Minister Khaw's recommendation to send all useless old folks to Johor or Batam!
