somebody got owned. LOL.

source : Unseen (friend and mentor)


Just the other day, I was in a bad mood, taking the MRT train early morning.
I was trying to type a SMS to someone, and I became VERY aware of this lady playing her music loudly via her HP.

I nicely asked the lady to use a earpiece, upon which the reply was "I can't afford one." (liar, her phone comes with one). I asked her to switch off her music as it's annoying, and she told me if I don't like her music, I can move elsewhere, or get off the train. After a few requests from me, she still refused. She also mentioned there's no law against playing music loudly in public.

She is SO wrong.
So I called the police.

The police know exactly I was talking about and referring to, carried out swift actions. Within 3 stations, the MRT train master entered our train carriage to mediate. 3 more stations later, the police arrived, the lady and I were escorted to see the police.
1 hour later, I walked off free, and she was detained for investigations.
She now has a police case against her.

Just to inform you guys of the possible laws broken:

268. A person is guilty of a public nuisance, who does any act, or is guilty of an illegal omission, which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the public, or to the people in general who dwell or occupy property in the vicinity, or which must necessarily cause injury, obstruction, danger or annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use any public right.

Both of these laws, you only need 1 irritant, and 1 person to complain, and that person's in for trouble. Don't ever forget your right to be NOT disturbed in public.

If someone want to play punk and mention that it's public entertainment (like my case), I request a repeat of the statement (to record down), and request to see the public entertainment license, without which she's liable for a $10,000 fine.

any idiots out there still want to blast their music?




to Furious : I do not know who you are, but i can roughly guess the reason why you were here. it was my fault to start with and with all due respect i do not need any external reminders as to what i should and should not do from someone who only knew what happened on the surface.

your nick sounds a bit crude to me. are you trying to tell me you're angry ? its a very pathethic and pitiful attempt to try to pin me down and make me scared. opps, guess i went too far. talk to me personally rather than behind the screen monitor.







LOL.
