'Why do I need to tell you my age?' Woman seen scolding youth for not giving up seat on MRT train
A woman and a young man had a heated argument on an MRT train. The dispute started because the woman claimed the youth refused to give up his seat. In a video shared on Instagram, the woman is seen scolding the youth while they both sit in the priority seat area. The incident took place on the East-West Line on a train heading toward Clementi. To prove her status, the woman produced a Senior Citizen Concession Card from her bag. These cards are given to Singapore citizens who are 60 years old or older.

"See!"Though his words are indistinct, the youth appears to question her age, prompting an agitated response."Why do I need to tell you my age, idiot?" she questions indignantly, before telling him to "check the website" and repeatedly urging him to "shut up" as he persistently responded.The woman tells him how he is "irritating" her and rejects the youth's attempt to apologise.
