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. The campaign, which includes images of clipping nails and applying makeup, aims to encourage gracious behaviour on public transport. While most commuters deem light makeup touch-ups acceptable, many find actions like cutting nails unhygienic. Andrea Heng and Susan Ng discuss what’s acceptable – and unacceptable – behaviour on public transport. 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.
