So juvenile, these NTU students: They put up fake bus stop sign to fool driver
They are university students, yet these youths behaved like little kids by putting up a fake bus stop sign to fool a driver into stopping.
The video shows a group of students putting up a fake sign for buses 179 and 199 near NTU.
STOMPer Kenneth, who came across the video on both YouTube and a social networking website, said.
"This is a bunch of kids trying to fool the driver of bus 179 and the driver actually fell for it.
"The video was not very clear but as what I see, they might have shifted the fallen bus-stop sign with the 179/199 bus number plate at the bus-stop.
"They tied the sign together with the one standing there showing shuttle bus NTU-Pioneer Station to try to fool the 179 bus driver.
"I think this can be classified as a crime of moving government property I guess, not pretty sure about it.
"From their conversation, they were excited and thought this was fun that the driver was fooled.
"They even edited this video and posted it on YouTube, which clearly shows that they are not afraid of the punishment (if any).
"I'm quite disappointed that they were so bold to even toy with government property. It's no different from stealing."
According to the YouTube posting, the youths are from NTU.
While some netizens commented that they found it funny, others condemned the act.
One netizen said:
"Can't believe that nowadays university students in Singapore have no sense of empathy. The bus captains work more than 8 hrs a day driving on the same route, yet they do this to a bus captain, and which may get that captain into trouble.
"No wonder our university standings drop."
Many of the students' cohort also commented on the social networking website, commending the youths' pranks for being funny.
One of them commented: "Wau...nice video that I wait for so long...great job..."
Another one said: "I add u just to watch this video Hahahahaha!"
