TikTok guardianlaw - It is an offence to pass a parcel from paid to unpaid areas in an mrt station (if it is for trade). You can be fined up to $2k.

If no see cash exchange hands, they also can’t tell if friends gifting or not ma. Nowadays everyone mostly cashless transfer. Usually for small value items, just paynow before reaching, then just take and go.

so, if the station staff approach you while 2 are doing transaction, dun stupid stupid tell the staff that you are buying/selling, okay?

just say you both fren fren, just passing thing over

dun go gehkiang argue with the staff "what, i just buy online thing lidat cannot ah? simple 2 min deal, i commit what offence? eh this is stupid la. you all make our lives so difficult... huh, trains breakdown so often cannot fix, just sit there do nothing...."
You can do that and the recepient will complete the act and say thank you good bye and leave without paying.

what u gonna do? Sue the buyer and admit to lying to a public officer?

Define trade and business. I suspect passing over a personal item is fine
I think another issue is that if trade and business is allowed, then what’s stopping insurance agents from meeting you at one side and you the other and discuss things there? U gonna set rules to say trade is allowed but only for a few minutes?

Then of cos beyond that you will soon have an even more crowded mrt cos people are meeting there to do business deals to save on mrt fare and cos there’s no rule against it, u cannot stop it

likely to curb terrorist threats or what not la

If to curb terrorist threats, then don't allow people to loiter in the MRT stations. Now the whole place looks like a picnic area with ppl sitting and bags laying all around.:(

don't think too much la.

eg soon there'll be classes conducted in the paid area and the students enjoy free aircon while standing in the unpaid area listening to the classes.

Breakdown so many times... Cannot expect 0 breakdowns. Still can raise fares annually.

Passing things over the gates.. it's a crime!
