There’s an uncle who’s now famous island-wide. And trust me, it’s not for doing the right thing, or being a hero.
No, he didn’t rescue a kid from a car that was speeding up. It’s something else altogether.

In case you’ve not come across it, there’s a video on Facebook of an uncle who got into an argument with the transit security officer. And later, with policemen who came onto the scene.
And where exactly was this scene? A place we all end up at least once in a day – the MRT station.
The man was dressed in a blue-T shirt and glasses. His offence was not his attire (seriously, no fashion faux pas here).
He was stopped for blowing bubbles at the station. I mean, if it was a 3 year old who was already being reprimanded by his mom, I’d probably understand it.But a grown man, blowing bubbles, in an MRT station? That’s ridiculous.
He was approached by the security officer, who told him that no bubbles could be blown at the station. There might be some potentially harmful substances in the soap solution, he advised.
And what did uncle dearest say to him? “You watch too much CSI.”
He went on explaining that he wanted to spread joy and said that he was actually a performer who’s really good at blowing bubbles.
After a few moments, he attempted to board a train, bubbles and all.

He stopped when he was told that his actions needed to be investigated further by the police force at the Public Transport Security Command. The department is also more fondly known as TransCom.
When the police officers were present at the station, he continued to argue on his point. He insisted that he was making other commuters happy by blowing bubbles in the place.
He took it one step further by saying that he would make a complaint against the transit security officer and the policemen.
The end of the video showed that one of the policemen told the uncle that no action would be taken, and that he had to stop blowing bubbles. Period.
He STILL insisted that he was not doing anything wrong, and boarded a train shortly after.

The video’s been viewed online by close to 70000 times.
And there’s only one question on my mind. Did he continue blowing bubbles in the train he boarded? I hope not.
Here’s what NCMPs are, and what to expect after GE2025:
