Yet another case which exemplifies the ugly Singaporean attitude. Should I say it's a breath of fresh air? It's something that I've never seen before, but it also comes as no surprise to me that this actually got on film

T-Truth to be told, I'm pretty shakened after that entire video. If I was on that train, I wouldn't know how to react at all! In fact I'm quite amazed at how the other passengers acted so nonchalant plus the fact that someone close by could even take a video.
Personally, I wouldn't have minded the video if it was taken for informative/illustrative purposes. Using it as a form of entertainment or an object of ridicule, however, is a no-no. Back to human rights, respect one's privacy! She's human, and just because she has a mental condition doesn't give anyone the right to throw resentful, derogatory remarks for her actions. Reports have mentioned countless of times that she's schizophrenic, shouldn't that help readers/viewers empathize her plight? Apparently not- BINGO. Ugly Singaporean Behavior Factor #1. Inconsideration and all

I agree 100% with tomaeki and could not have said it any better. I always like to put things into perspective so I myself will understand: if someone had a video camera/phone would I want them filming me if I did that or anything similar? Heck no- for whatever reason. A lot of people seem to forget that if something can be done to someone it can be done right back. And when you point your finger there is one pointing itself right back at you.
Nothing can justify yelling at someone for no real reason. I can sympathize with that woman and her condition but I still don't think it is right to yell at people if they have not given you reason to and even less of a reason if they have (an eye for an eye is a horrible analogy).
I know this is random (and extremely off topic) but where did you get your layout at? \o/ I'm sure I've asked you before but I guess I'll pester and ask again.
