Who is this NUS idiot?

See Stomp post here.

I’m quite pissed off and irritated at this Stomper. Frankly I think what he/she did is lame and thoughtless. We are now judging people based on our values system. Do we know what’s going on in their heads?

Tell you what, I know the reason why they are putting the trays on the floor. They have no space to accomodate all the trays on the table, plus they need the trays to put all the plates and utensils back to the clearing point. That is the reason why they put the trays on the floor.

Its raining that day and it may dirty the tray? Hell I think the trays would be wiped down before re-use isn’t it? Plus the photo doesn’t really show that its wet. It may be raining, but if the rain does not fall or dirty the area where they put the trays, your argument doesn’t hold.

Makes me wonder how some people think. Please spare a thought for others. This situation is totally uncalled for.

3G SAF - You are Stomped!

Our 3G SAF has been stomped by a stomper. Apparantly, two guys in SAF No3 were caught by this stomper playing pool in uniform. Other alleged “crimes” include leaving his shirt untucked and taking out his name tag.

Our Stomp has since evolved into something as stupid as that. What is the real point in sending this photo? Like schools, our 3G SAF has their own delinquents. Why are we so busybody as to take a photo of such a minor thing? Unless the Stomper gets to win a little digital camera or something, I don’t see why he or she should even bother. Maintaining a high class SAF? Lol.

This Stomp post reminded me of another post. Remember the one where the policeman is sleeping in the police car? Well, maybe the public is getting too much into the uniform = strict rules and regulations thing. I guess its deeply rooted into our education system that when we go int an institution with a uniform, we must always uphold the image. Yes, uphold the image is the right thing to do, however, sometimes flexibility is needed. In the policeman example, he could be off duty and just did a 24 hour no rest duty, rendering him too tired. Thus, he fell asleep.

Granted, these SAF privates have no excuse, but the only wrong thing they did is to tuck out their uniforms and “smoke”. I say “smoke” because the photos do not show us evidence of smoking (if I am not cock eye). I think we should cut them some slack when it comes to playing pool. Even in the camps, we have pool tables to play too.

I guess Singaporeans need to keep to themselves more. Sometimes its better to close an eye and not appear to be so petty. The Stomper seems to be in a gleeful mood, saying “I will be looking forward to hearing from the respective units on the actions taken for their misconduct”. It seems like he has gotten screwed by rules and is waiting for people to get screwed too.

Indecent act in broad daylight?

Well lately, our MWH (Men with handphones) have been busy at work generating camera shots of people doing the wrong things. Whether it its wrong or not, we do not know, but we do know that our MWH are judging them based on their own judgement. One of it is this.

I do not know if that it is morally right to send this photo to Stomp. I do not know what the person experienced or saw in reality. I guess the person must have been courageous to go up and take a photo whilst the man is playing with his dick. However I do feel thankful that the person’s face can’t be seen.

This is to give the person a benefit of the doubt. He may not be playing with his dick. In fact, all he may be doing is scratching his balls, and if someone identifies him from a photo for something he did not do, I guess it would be horrendous. It is also tasteless to send such a photo. Is the person trying to get that guy into trouble? In fact I believe that the proper way would be to call the police to handle him for indecent exposure. Let the police handle it.

I guess next time someone will send a photo to stomp about a robbery and not call the police.. The day that happens, we’re screwed.

Man eating food on train.. Yada yada yada

How many times has the title “man eating [insert food name here] on train” been flashed across your computer screen when you visit Stomp? This time, the title is Waffle Time on Train. However, the gist is still the same.

So what have I learnt after stumbling upon numerous such posts by stompers all year long? That people in Singapore eat on the trains and they do not care less. Even if there are many people who got shamed, they still do not care. Thus, what is the point in sending such pictures to Stomp?

The cost of sending such pictures to stomp includes battery life and the 80 cents you take to send that MMS. Is it worth it? Does Stomp give you any prize for your effort? No. In fact, all you get is flamings by stompers asking you, “why did you not approach the boy and tell him off?” Is it really worth it then?

My opinion is that its not worth it. This thing is an education issue. It is about their morals and it has to be taught from parent to child, from teacher to child, and from peer to peer. It does not help and will not help by taking photos to shame them on Stomp. In fact, they arn’t really shamed. Unless their peers see the post, it is very likely that they get away with what they have done. Even if their peers saw the post, will their peers mock them? Will they make him feel embarrassed and regretful towards his actions?

The answer, I believe, is no.

The key to solving this problem is through our schools and families. Stomp is not a solution. Thus, please stop sending such photos to stomp because they do not work effectively. You are only helping stomp get visits and they earn money when many visitors come to their site.

Staircase for the disabled

Well, someone found a sign that implies that the staircase in front of him is meant for disabled access. It seems ridiculous to me that you have to designate a set of staircases for only the disabled.

When there is an emergency, and when the lifts cannot be used, how does able bodies people escape then? Isn’t it a little weird? The stomper says that it looks like an ordinary staircase. This doesn’t make sense. If you make something for disabled people,there has to be something thats helping the disabled walk through the staircase right? If not, why is the staircase so special?

Guess some people are sleeping on the job huh.
