A woman was caught with a sweet in her mouth while riding on the MRT. She explained to the station master, Mr Roger Foo, that she felt giddy and thirsty but since drinking was disallowed, she took a sweet instead.

What’re your thoughts on this incident? Was Mr Foo blindly following the letter of the law instead of understanding the spirit of it?
