The New Paper
6 June 2009
A male bus commuter allegedly punched an elderly woman-Madam A Nyanamani , 68, a housewife for not moving out of his way.His friend also hurled obscenities at her.She claimed that the bus driver ignored her pleas for help and allowed them to alight while she was crying. The passengers on the packed bus didn't give her a helping hand. During that incident, the two men punched her left eye, causing a slight bruise around her left eyes.Then they shouted vulgarities at her, afraid that they would punch her again, she covered her face with her hands as a shield.
Her son, Mr Selvan Kanna, an engineer, lodged a complaint with SBS and made a report at a police station at Jurong East.She said that she was afraid to take buses from then on.
Opinion 1: We need to be considerate towards the elderly. There is no reason to react so violently.The passengers should not ignore them and must advise the men not to fight over small matter.If they did not heed their advise, call the police or ask the driver to drive straight to the police station.
Opinion 2:The driver did not handle the thing well.He shouldn't allowed the men to alight the bus.He should drive straight to the police station to report it to the police.
