The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that the controversial 'priority seats' on public transport will be renamed to 'priority seats' to give to passengers who truly need them, sparking debates on eliminating the courtesy of offering seats to the elderly and vulnerable. Spanish creator Yao Guanyu shared an incident where he accidentally sat on a priority seat in the MRT and was stared at intensely by an elderly lady for about 5 seconds. Feeling intimidated and fearing an attack, Yao immediately left the seat, later realizing his mistake and apologizing on social media for unintentionally occupying the seat meant for the elderly, pregnant women, or passengers with limited mobility.
