Eye-catching much?<\/p>\n
A blindfolded man sitting in a meditative pose on an MRT train and a woman wearing a mask during her commute have sparked very different reactions.<\/p>\n
The man was spotted by Stomper Mike<\/strong> on the Circle Line on March 11 at about 11pm.<\/p>\n In a photo that Mike shared, the man is seen sitting cross-legged on a seat with his eyes covered by an orange cloth. His slippers are placed on the floor in front of him, while his bag is on the seat next to him.<\/p>\n Mike said the sight amused him.<\/p>\n “I was surprised as soon as I boarded the train at Serangoon MRT station and entered the cabin,” he told Stomp.<\/p>\n “My quick thought was he must be doing some type of internal energy qigong or self-healing technique.”<\/p>\n Mike said that as it was past 11pm, there were only a “handful” of people on board.<\/p>\n “Everyone ignored him and gave him space, probably to calm down and recharge through some meditative technique only known to himself,” the Stomper added.<\/p>\n “To me, he maximised his time on the train journey instead of scrolling aimlessly through social media like most of us do.”<\/p>\n In a separate incident, Stomper K <\/strong>shared his frustration over a woman he claims frequently occupies two seats during the morning peak-hour commute.<\/p>\n According to him, the woman is regularly seen taking the train on the East-West Line from Tanah Merah to Expo at about 7.40am.<\/p>\n A photo he took on March 13 at around the same time shows the woman seated with her bags placed next to her.<\/p>\n K said the train is usually “super crowded” at this time.<\/p>\n “If it was during non-peak hours, we totally understand because there might be other seats, but this was during peak hours,” he said. “Other people wanted to sit, especially the elderly.<\/p>\n “I was not happy because an elderly uncle wanted to sit down but he couldn’t, so he stood at one side before another commuter gave up their seat for him.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel that she is being very selfish and entitled.\u201d<\/p>\n Have something to say?
