He said that he did not notice them snuggling up at first, but the “disgusted look” on the face of the man sitting beside them drew his attention to their public display of affection.

Many other people were also staring, and as a foreigner, he was very surprised, as he thought Singaporeans were conservative.

The reader wrote in an email to Stomp:

“I am a foreigner and was shocked to see how students act in the MRT train.

“I don’t judge people by just one glance but I just couldn’t let this incident pass.

“It was a rainy afternoon, sometime last week when I spotted these students boarding the MRT at Yishun.

“At first I didn’t care less about them, but when they started kissing and I noticed the guy beside them had a disgusted look on his face, I couldn’t stop staring.

“They really didn’t care whether a lot of people were looking at them and just continue what they were doing until they alighted at AMK station.

“I was shocked to see such behaviour. I thought Singaporeans were conservative.

“I know that times have changed and this is a new generation, but I don’t think it’s such a bad idea to keep that self respect and proper behaviour while you are outside specially in public areas.”
