A woman was filmed arguing with a male youth on an MRT train over allegations that he had refused to give up his seat.<\/p>\n
The Instagram video, posted by xmmsnxdds on Wednesday (Nov 4), shows the woman scolding the youth as she sits next to him on the priority seat.<\/p>\n
The pair can be seen quarrelling on the train towards Clementi on the East-West Line, although it is unclear when the incident happened.<\/p>\n
While both are already seated when the video begins, they seem to be in the midst of a heated dispute over the woman’s age.<\/p>\n
“Mine is a senior card, what are you talking about?” the woman says, pulling a Senior Citizen Concession Card, which is issued to Singapore citizens aged 60 and above, from her bag and waving it in front of the youth’s face. “See!”<\/p>\n
Though his words are indistinct, the youth appears to question her age, prompting an agitated response.<\/p>\n
“Why do I need to tell you my age, idiot?” she questions indignantly, before telling him to “check the website” and repeatedly urging him to “shut up” as he persistently responds.<\/p>\n
The woman tells him how he is “irritating” her and rejects the youth’s attempt to apologise.<\/p>\n
“Your apology is not accepted,” she replies, closing her eyes and raising a hand as if to signal for him to stop speaking.<\/p>\n
The youth can be heard saying “Alright, I’m sorry,” before turning to his friend in front of him to apparently complain about the Chinese woman.<\/p>\n
The video then ends with the youth continuing to speak to his friend indistinctly.<\/p>\n
The Instagram caption labels the youth as a “master of rage baiting”, suggesting he had deliberately sought to provoke the woman.<\/p>\n
Despite their heated exchange, both remained seated next to each other throughout the video.<\/p>\n
The viral video has amassed over 617,000 views on Instagram, with more than 8,000 likes, almost 8,000 shares and close to 300 comments.<\/p>\n
Many netizens criticised the behaviour of both parties, calling the woman “entitled” and youth “rude”.<\/p>\n
One comment, with over 1,000 likes, commended the youth for “not letting [the woman] off so easy”, highlighting how some elderly folks behaved in an “entitled” manner on public transport.<\/p>\n
“That boy will sure drive any parents mad,” commented another.<\/p>\n
A netizen joked about how noisy the exchange was: “The reason why I always wear my Airpods.”<\/p>\n
