TL;DR - Cam car saw a pedestrian walking along the expressway and stopped over to sternly warn him to not do this as it is extremely hazardous for road users. Many nasty comments were made in the midst of the argument. 

Whether you own a driving license or not, one just need a tiny bit of common sense to know that it is dangerous to walk along the expressway where tons of cars are just basically zooming past every few seconds. However, this doesn’t seem to be the case for this particular man. 

As you watch this 60-second video, see which side you are on. 

Transcript: 

Driver: D; Pedestrian: P  

D : Cannot walk here, HELLO, this is the highway! 

P : What do you want? 

D : Cannot walk here! 

P : I want to go home, I am finding my way home 

D : Eh, you cannot like that walk one leh, you will harm us everyone leh, all the cars 

P : The cars should wait for me

D : Cars wait for you?! You will cause us to get into car accidents! Eh this is Singapore, you dont anyhow do things here. You are very bad!

P :  What do you want? 

D : This road can walk? 

P : But I walked the wrong way

D : Then walk back where you came from! 

P : You want me to jump down? 

D : Yes 

P : You are crazy! 

D : You will cause Singaporeans to get into accidents! 

P : You really got problem, you want you bang me down now 

D : Bang you? You talk very *inaudible* 

What happened? 

It is pretty obvious (from the tonality and gestures) that the cam car driver is shouting hysterically at the clueless pedestrian with his GPS somehow landing him on the expressway. 

It seems that this pedestrian just arrived in Singapore and has lost his way getting around in our already tiny island. The cam car decided to lash out at him and sternly warned him that by walking on the expressway, it poses harm to road users. 

Indeed the pedestrian shouldn’t have continued on walking along the expressway, seeing that he is the only lone ranger. However, the comments were booming with anger towards the cam car driver. 

The cam car could have offered a lift and kindly inform our poor friend that he shouldn’t be walking along such a heavy filled traffic. On the other hand, the pedestrian should’ve u-turned knowing he is walking a path of danger. Or perhaps seek help on getting around in Singapore. 

Let’s hear what these angry cybercitizens have to say:

Seems like what the cam car filmed has totally backfired on him… big time. 

& more...

There’s loads more but you get the gist. 

Let us know what you think and what would you do if you were the befuddled pedestrian.

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan.

    Musings about the Pomodoro Method

    In a hyper-connected mega-city, where time seems to tick at a relentlessly brisk pace and where distractions are aplenty, pondering the art of productivity and focus is inevitable. In fact, it’s almost become a necessity. No wonder so many listicles have been written to point us in the right directions. Different methods works for different folks, of course, and when I was in my final year of university, I was introduced to a method that I regularly return to still: The Pomodoro Method, a d

    23 years on, Infernal Affairs remains the best gangster movie I've watched

    TL;DR It's over two decades old, but Infernal Affairs remains THE gangster trilogy. *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* The Hong Kong Police and a triad have placed moles in each other's ranks.
