STOMPer Ong claims this elderly man chose to sit like this even though he was offered a Reserved seat by other commuters.

In an email today (Apr 17) the STOMPer described the situation:

"Look at this uncle.

"Early this morning on the MRT, people gave him a seat but he didn't want it.

"Why like that? He was sitting on the floor up to Jurong East Station.

"It seems not everyone wants to sit in the Reserved seats after all."
