According to Channel News Asia,
SINGAPORE: Its bus drivers have been slapped, punched and even kicked. On Thursday, SBS Transit fought back with a publicity blitz aimed at stopping attacks on its bus captains by members of the public.
There have been 18 assaults on SBS Transit bus drivers in the first six months of this year — four more than the total number for the whole of last year.
Driver H K Wong, 44, on June 6 became SBS Transit’s latest victim when a male commuter punched him. Mr Wong had declined to hold up Service 124 at a bus stop along Moulmein Road while the commuter finished his cigarette.
The man stomped on board and hurled verbal abuse at the driver. Then, he grabbed hold of Mr Wong’s collar and threw a punch to the back of his head.
Mr Wong told TODAY: “I was surprised and stunned; and all the commuters were shocked as well. It happened so suddenly.”
Whats your say in all these actions? Whose at wrong?
I believe its the personality and character of individuals. We cannot control the action and decision of one who decides to resort to violence. Nether can we control the attitude of how people wants to treat & react to us. But we are getting reckless in our actions nowadays. :runnynose: Paid to Click, Paid to Read, Paid to SignUp, Paid to Post:
