A man was seen openly eating a packet of snacks on an MRT train while watching videos on his phone, with many netizens lamenting what they see as a lack of enforcement of the no-eating rule.
The 14-second clip, shared on Facebook page The SG Daily on Feb 8, shows him repeatedly helping himself to the snacks before casually brushing crumbs off his trouser leg onto the train floor, seemingly unaware he was being filmed.
The clip has so far garnered more than 272,000 views, 1,200 reactions and 610 comments. It is unclear which MRT line the video was filmed on.
