Singaporeans are becoming more civic-minded despite the recent case of an elderly man being punched and kicked over a train seat, commuters and observers told The Straits Times on Thursday.
They said the assault was an isolated incident, and did not reflect the behaviour of the vast majority of passengers.
Cheng Tai Peng, 38, was jailed for 10 weeks on Wednesday for attacking the 64-year-old during an argument over a reserved seat.
The victim, Mr Chua Teck Seng, was left with cuts and bruises, a bleeding eye and a burst eardrum following the assault in a packed MRT carriage.

In Turkey, I found many young passengers gave their seats to elderly passengers frequently. For example, those who stand could be found,even when a lot of vacant seats are available and no one except them sit.
Often, I felt I should have stood even when so, in case that a lot of people ride the train at a station on my way.
