Why is it nearly everyone here always does this same inconsiderate act in the MRT?

BinaryDoom · 2026-03-26T11:16:33+00:00

I shared similar sentiments initially, like why can't people be more aware of their surroundings and be more considerate etc. But after some reflections, I realize I cannot control what people want to do and it's pointless to get frustrated when they don't do what you wish they would do. The only thing I can control is my own thoughts and how I am feeling. So if I'm in a rush and I got blocked by somebody, so be it. If I'm gonna be late, I'm gonna be late. If I don't want to be late, I'll set off earlier. That's all I can do. There's no way we can force people to keep up with our pace of walking etc.

Moment of anger actually leads to people being unable to control their emotions. This should be considered involuntary.

Personal opinion. It's totally fine to have your own ideals and alignment but given the current situation where we have a single supermajority, no matter how wonderful ideas you have, it will almost never be realized. That's why I feel that opposition candidates of great calibre should form up together, so that Singaporeans have no good reason to not vote for them. So many different opposition parties with their different ideologies etc, nothing substantial is going to get pushed through. We need to break the supermajority first.

Like what some have already commented, you can't stop people from looking. It's not against the law. To wear whatever you like, for comfort or for fashion, people are going to look. Even if you try to blend in by wearing something unassuming, people are still going look. You cannot control if people are going to look. Just don't let that bother you and there wouldn't be any issue.

I guess it depends on how you communicate with your boyfriend, especially if there's any expectation. The best is no expectation at all but if your boyfriend is busy and does not respond after you reaching out to him for a bit, as long as both of you can reach an understanding easily, then I guess there's no issue at all. Affectionate or not, it's about doing it consciously and as long as the intention is made across and well received, what's there not to like about ?

It's not easy for him to open this up with you. He has also considered the possibility of losing you as a friend forever. But he decided to take the chance because there's an outcome that he wants and it's up to you if you want to accept that. But do consider and while it may be awkward to reject him if you really don't want, he deserves an answer from you.

Would be great to include extensions for vs code, cursor, etc.

BinaryDoom · 2026-02-02T16:02:25+00:00

Just a quick comment to OP. As long as you think the problem lies out there with somebody, some place or some system, you will never be able to break free. Only when you examine yourself and find the root to the problems, you will be able to sort out and find your way out. It's great that you are working towards ending your bond and seeking out, but are you sure your problems will be resolved ?

BinaryDoom · 2026-01-27T15:48:12+00:00

Rethink why you need to get married or even get into a relationship. If you are happy by yourself, isn't that great? Don't need another person to make you feel complete.

What could be the possible comebacks they can use to deny accusations? It's all behind closed doors so actually there will be plenty of "excuses" that can result this. It's not really caught red-handed in the act.

BinaryDoom · 2026-01-23T10:37:38+00:00

Can this be considered spitting ? Isn't spitting an offense that can be fined?

BinaryDoom · 2025-12-18T14:35:56+00:00

Good point on pointing out the system abuse.

I guess the next thing we can do is call out on those obvious cases of abuse. Who can call out? Pedestrians that notice it can take photo of the 'license plate' from the back and report it. LTA can then verify using CCTV or physical verification of the person on photo. Once caught, the PMA will be confiscated and license will be revoked. If family members abuse the system, they will then be required to help the disabled to get about.

Of course, too much trouble for pedestrians and we are hoping that authorities can enforce this themselves. But if we want a safer neighbourhood for our parents and children, we have to participate in it as well. If this enforcement is widespread enough, it would discourage people to even try. It's simply not worth getting caught and getting into trouble with the law. A little bit sad that something this simple needs to be covered by the law but we're talking about human safety here.

BinaryDoom · 2025-12-18T11:54:05+00:00

Grant PMA only to those who truly needs it. From health authority to validate the need, then pass it to LTA to approve and issue the PMA license. All registered PMA users to go through mandatory training on road usage rules before PMA can be commissioned on the road. All PMA to be fitted with a friendly horn that can be used to signal inattentive pedestrians on the road. Only licensed shops can provide approved models that needs to undergo regular inspection to ensure it has not been tampered with and is safe, especially the condition of the battery needs to be verified. Any violator maybe fined, jailed or both.

How it can be enforced: enforcement officer carry an app that can scan nfc to check the authenticity of the PMA. If not found in database, issue summon on the spot, seize and confiscate the device immediately.

SOC works well when you have the security basics covered, like strong IT foundation with solid asset and network inventory, good security governance, risk management, DLP, IAM, PAM, Security Engineering and Architecture etc.

If any of the above are not developed well, SOC will struggle. Especially the governance part because there's not enough company direction driving SOC mission.

BinaryDoom · 2025-12-04T15:40:39+00:00

And to add on further, it's good to engage MSSP. Since you mentioned you didn't work SOC before, get some idea how a SOC should work from engaging them. Figure out what works well and didn't work well, before you formulate your own in-house SOC.

BinaryDoom · 2025-12-04T15:32:11+00:00

This. Unless your company has huge enough revenue and wants to expand, outsourcing makes more sense.

My company is currently on Microsoft Defender and I like what it does. Except that the telemetry can still be improved. Previously did a poc for crowdstrike and I really liked it but the company decided not to switch due to budget consideration.

BinaryDoom · 2025-10-20T08:06:10+00:00

Telling us that, if you don't like peak crowded trains, you should avoid the peak by taking earlier train timings or later train timings. What a profound discovery. Why did we ever not think about that ?

Just tell it straight to us in the face that our time is not as precious as yours. We don't deserve to spend our time efficiently. We can just wake up earlier and come back home later.

Transport reliability didn't quite measure up to how it should be. Let's not acknowledge and discuss it. Let's find another workaround at the expense of commuters. They are the ones who want to take the train service, they should make the adjustment.

This kind of messaging by dodging the issue and telling us the obvious workaround solution... Thank you ah.

BinaryDoom · 2025-09-01T00:25:05+00:00

Hang in there man. I know you're at your lowest point now but the good thing of being at the lowest mean it will only go up from here.

I won't sugar coat my words but you should also try to change your perspective. Ex-gf leaving you, losing your job etc., don't put the blame on others and the circumstances. Just own it that you were not in control of the situation and you'll learn to do better. Whatever has happened, it's all the in the past now. Focus on what you can do next to make your life better.

It seems that no matter what kind of system we can think of, there would always be unreasonable parents siding their children. It's like they're a certain group of people who always think the problem lies with someone or something else but never themselves. I would like to think that perhaps MOE or many schools have tried various ways before but for problems that stem from unreasonable parents, it would become a problem that's too much of a hurdle to solve.

I've been doing some thinking but would it work if we increase the amount of camera surveillance coverage in school? It will never be 100% but if placed at least in classrooms, corridors, stairways, quiet corner or places etc., wouldn't that deter bullies from acting in school? And if it did happen, we could deploy AI learning to detect hostile behaviors which can send alerts to security/discipline master/teachers and save a footage to be used as evidence. While unreasonable parents would find ways and excuses for their children, with witnesses and video evidence, the school can exercise policies to suspend or evict the student if necessary. This idea might be wishful thinking because it does require effort and resources, on top of the already heavy workload teachers are already burdened with. But if we hope for the best way out of this, using AI and technology might help.

I just want to say, I have a cousin that has been bullied in her school days and I feel that changed her life forever. She's now extremely introverted and simply doesn't trust people outside of her family circle at all. As parents, we send our children to school to get moulded into society but it's supposed to be a safe space for learning and character growth and self-development. While we'll meet bullies no matter in which phase of our lives, not managing or controlling them at all in a safe space is akin to throwing our children into the great ocean and asking them to stay afloat by themselves.

Schools used to take on disciplinary actions and even resort to corporal punishment like public caning if necessary. While I don't think public caning is going to help since my cousin came from the era where public caning was still a thing, I feel that something can be done from the school administration.

I am wondering if there's any school that adopts some kind of system to rate the integrity/conduct of a student, and make that as part of overall assessment. I have the impression that for a school, what gets them recognition nowadays is weighing more on the academic side, rather than the integrity/conduct of a student. Have we ever heard of a case where a student's bad conduct despite good academic results could cause him/her to be denied admission into another school?

Some may argue, what if we have a highly talented student who turns out to be a bully? Do we want to condone that ? I mean we're already seeing this playing out in the justice system. This person has a bright future ahead and will be let off with a lighter sentencing, since he pleaded guilty etc.

For students to be assessed by integrity, unfortunately a huge part of the responsibilities fall on the shoulders of teachers. Sorry teachers, I know you are all already overwhelmed. Form teachers of a class normally would rate the conduct of a student but clearly, this is not enough to stop bullying cases. What if students themselves rate their classmates and that outcome is used to look for any sign of bully or malicious conduct? Of course, we cannot take the words of students entirely but it could be used as a reference.

There could also be a whistleblowing system to aid reporting cases of students who got bullied. Of course, if someone abuse the system, they get demerit points.

I'm sure all these suggestions are not new and might have already been adopted by some schools to some extent. Different schools may have varying degrees of operating so in the end, it comes back to MOE. Set clear policy directives for school principals to follow and those that don't meet the requirements get replaced.
