I'm guessing it's like the Social Development Unit (a.k.a. the matchmaking gahmen agency) but except to entice Singaporeans to make more of themselves, it's to entice Singaporeans to treat everybody with the dignity they're inherently entitled as fellow sentient beings.

I don't what they're really called....but it's the troops of young people running around town with T-shirts, flyers, and signs telling everyone to be nice.

Curiously riven society where one element have decided that another must be told to be kind.

Curiously it's not that rare . . . actually we all have it in one way or another . . . they're called laws.

I can't think of a country where kindness is mandated by law.

I don't know what they're fighting about but they both look like a holes to me. They're behaving like 5 year olds that deserve spankings.

I can't understand a word they're saying. Ok, a word here and there. What it does appear to be is a storm in a teacup.

Does it have anything to do with the rude practice here of people occupying the outside seat inconveniencing the other person by making them climb over them to get in and out?

It has everything to do with it. I see it almost daily.

It's unfortunate that I've lost so much weight. I used to not mind climbing over a holes when I weighed 94 kg and deliberately stepping on their feet at least twice (apologizing after each instance with the rejoinder that had they had the courtesy to shift in it wouldn't have happened. And I make sure I have to get out before they do so I can do it all over again. OH, the other thing that was beautiful was when I DID get in I would then sit down forcefully with my big arse and virtually push them half way off the end of the seat. Again apologizing, and explaining had they moved in, it would have been me with my arse half off the seat. Not as much fun now as I can't make as big an impact as before.

Kids, this is why you should always occupy the inside seat first. Two of your uncles didn't follow the rule and boy, one of them got his face creamed.

I didn't!

That why I said "as big an impact" I didn't say I no longer make an impact!

I can help to translate it, around 85% that Ican hear..but the words are just too vulgar..sigh. But all the guessing above are correct. It's about a person (man in blue shirt) refuse to give way to the uncle and lead to an arguement plus punches. I roughly can tell the area which the incident took place, as I met the man in blue few times in a bus on that area (assume he live in that neighbourhood). I guess I have to be more cautious on my future bus trips..

Looks like uncle threw some kicks too as he's missing his shoes

Yeah, CB or CCB seemed to be his favourite expletive with possibly a KNN thrown in for good measure.
