A viral video of a man eating from a takeaway bowl in an MRT cabin has divided netizens – some questioned why the person recording the clip did not inform him, while others insisted that they should have known.
The video, shared on the Singapore Stuff Facebook page on May 19, shows the seated commuter eating his meal using disposable utensils while nearby commuters appear unfazed.
The man has a piece of suitcase between his legs and a backpack on his lap. He seems unaware that he is being filmed.
Towards the end of the clip, a train announcement can be heard over the intercom stating that the train is arriving at Bugis MRT station, suggesting that the incident took place on either the East-West Line or the Downtown Line.
Netizens ask what’s the point of taking video
The reel has since garnered more than 61,000 views, 200 reactions, and 180 comments.

Some netizens deduced that the man was a foreigner – possibly a traveller taking the MRT for the first time and unaware that eating in the MRT is not allowed.
“I wonder why the person who took this video didn’t inform the boy about the ‘no eating’ rule in SMRT… What’s the point of taking this video?” asked a netizen.
