haha. this thread is damn funny to read. but i personally agree that having lesser seats in MRT carriages is damn bad...the people who said we will have an aging population soon...also said we should increase our birth rate...also said that we should get more priority seats for senior citizens or pregnant women...so now they are taking off the seats to squeeze more people in per trip? LOL sia. it's rare to find our dear government contradicting themselves...no ill comments but i hope the organisations/personnel involved should re-consider about this decision thoroughly.
but on the other hand...i don't really like it when senior citizens or pregnant women are not getting seats from the other commuters. i stand for at least 90% of my MRT trips nowadays. so to all Singaporeans: please give up seats to those who really need it...before all these seats are taken off and everyone's standing! XD

this is supposedly a footage from Japan...even though it's way much worse than ours but it's not really as if our population is as big as Japan's...but i wonder whether they do the same squeezing on elderly people and pregnant women too...? XD
