CNA938 Rewind - The Big Question: Which habits should be banned on public transport?

A recent SMRT campaign featuring a "Don’t groom in public" poster has sparked debate on MRT etiquette.

Joining them for this discussion is Dr William Wan, Partner, CNPLaw LLP & Former Secretary General, Singapore Kindness Movement, and Emeritus Professor Ho Kong Chong, Urban Sociologist, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, National University of Singapore.
