Let's be clear, drinking is prohibited in MRT -- yes, even plain waterTrixy TohTNPSept 23, 2025SMRT has lodged a police report after a man posted a video of himself drinking water on an MRT train. In an Instagram video, the man is seen holding a large bottle of water at Chinese Gardens MRT station, while telling viewers that drinking water is prohibited on Singapore's trains. The man boards a train, pointing to the "no eating or drinking" sign, which informs commuters that doing so carries a fine of $500. After glancing around, he takes a gulp of water in front of the sign and gives a thumbs-up to the camera. When he alights at Outram Park MRT station, the man claims it is "a fact" that people can drink water freely on the MRT.
