A pregnant woman earlier alleged that this woman not only failed to offer her a Priority Seat in the train, she even cursed her and her unborn child.
The woman pictured in the story has since informed STOMP of her side of the story in an email dated Feb 1.
Here's what she had to say:
"The truth of this incident is I boarded the train before the pregnant lady did. I was tired and trying to sleep as you can see in the photo.
"I had no idea when she boarded or that she was maliciously taking a photo of me sleeping. She never once asked for the seat, nor did anybody around alert me of her presence.
"Nonetheless, I looked up after a while, and when I noticed her, I immediately asked, 'Do you want to sit?'
"To my shock and horror, she said 'Yes' really rudely, glaring at me, and rushed to the seat without a word of thanks!
"I then asked her, 'Hey I offered you the seat, why are you being so hostile?'
"She said, 'Of course! Couldn't you see the sign?'
"Certainly I knew I was sitting on the Priority Seat. But am I expected to be constantly on the lookout for pregnant women? I was asleep for Christ's sake, and the minute I noticed her, I offered it to her!
"There was NO '20 seconds of cursing', 'she stood up and started hurling vulgarities at me', nor did I curse her and her unborn baby.
"'A pregnant STOMPer says this woman not only did not offer her the Priority Seat in the train, she even cursed her and her unborn child' - this vicious statement is totally untrue.
"If there were SMRT cameras, I would most certainly like the public to see how ungrateful this pregnant lady really was, and worse, trying to malign me on STOMP!
"I do not deny that I called her a b***h. She certainly is the epitome of the word 'b***h'.
"The truth is, she called me one too! After I graciously offered her the seat, she called me a b***h because I said there was no need for hostility simply because I had not noticed her earlier.
"As for 'cursing her and her unborn baby'? All i said before I alighted was that it would be terribly sad if she brought up another person just like herself.
"I am not ashamed to say this because this is the true story, and I am sure everyone would agree with me that it is a great shame that a lady of her age cannot even conduct herself graciously, and is thinking of bringing up a child."
