Woman upset after man offers her toddler pau on MRT train: 'We shouldn't normalise feeding a stranger's child'
A mother was alarmed after a man allegedly offered her toddler a "half-eaten" steamed bun, or pau while they were travelling on an MRT train.In a TikTok post shared on Saturday (Sept 12), user yantilala95 said she only realised what was happening when the food was already in front of her son's mouth.She said she immediately screamed and pulled her son, Khalis, closer to her.In the video, the man can be seen sat on the carriage floor and presumably eating the pau next to the toddler, who is inside a stroller."When a stranger (a foreigner) has absolutely no care in the world about the rules and casually sits on the MRT floor while eating his bao," the mother alleged.The woman questioned why the man thought it was acceptable to offer food to a child he did not know, particularly when the food had already been partially eaten.She also raised concerns about the food's origins and ingredients, and whether it was halal."Half eaten pau? Ew your saliva is already on the bao and you want to feed my son?" she wrote.
