Viral video

SINGAPORE: A video of a woman who stuck her walking stick in between the doors of a train as they closed and then made her way inside when the doors opened again has gone viral online. Many people have commented on the clip, which was shared on Reddit and Facebook on Thursday (Jan 30).

At the beginning of the video, it appears that a middle-aged woman dressed in red was trying to get on board a train at the MRT station at Gardens by the Bay as the doors were already closing.

Her walking stick then gets stuck in between the doors as they close. A man inside the train cabin, who may have been one of the woman’s companions, can then be seen helping open the inside doors, which allows the woman’s walking stick to get unstuck.

However, instead of waiting on the platform after being able to retrieve her walking stick, the woman quickly hops onto the train, closely followed by a man, who is also presumably her companion. The train’s doors then close behind them.

The clip has been shared almost 500 times on Facebook.

Most commenters have expressed strong disapproval toward the behavior of the woman and her companion, calling their actions dangerous and pointing out that the woman could have gotten hurt because of what she did.
