Ang was referring to the anti social behavior of the
hooligan who spat at the two female commuters and threatening to hit one of them
if not stopped by a SMRT staff.
And Hin Kee, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, said, “I have been to crowded places and
seen how people accommodate one another. You have a choice. Don’t blame external
factors for our behavior.”
Ang was referring to the anti-social behavior of the hooligan who spat at the
two female commuters and threatening to hit one of them if not stopped by a SMRT
staff. Ang should experience the rush hour crowds at MRT interchange and then
ask if the commuters have a choice not to be there.
I would like Ang Hin Kee to read the study on how white rats behaved when
overcrowded and the comments by psychologist Joel Yang, ‘that commuters may
become “increasingly angrier” and tend to react negatively to minor annoyances
as Singapore’s population density increases.’ Yang also added, ‘It has been
widely researched in major, densely populated cities that crowding is linked to
anxiety, frustration, aggression, and inappropriate social interaction.’
Do Sinkies have a choice on whether the island should continue to get more
crowded and not less? Do Sinkies have a choice on the 6.9m population planning
number or the unceasing influx of foreigners here?
Ang Hin Kee said, ‘You have a choice.’ Now what this choice? Can Sinkie stop
the 6.9m population from happening? Did anyone give the Sinkies a choice? Who
should Sinkies blame for the crowded environment? Yes don’t blame external
factors. The foreigners can only come here to flood this place because of
internal factors. They are invited to be here like swarms of locusts. And
Sinkies have a choice to stop this.

In the early 1960s, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
acquired property in a rural area outside Poolesville, Maryland. The facility
that was built on this property housed several research projects, including
those headed by Calhoun. It was here that his most famous experiment, the mouse
universe, was created. In July 1968 four pairs of mice were introduced into the
Utopian universe. The universe was a 9-foot (2.7 m) square metal pen with
54-inch-high (1.4 m) sides. Each side had four groups of four vertical, wire
mesh “tunnels”. The “tunnels” gave access to nesting boxes, food hoppers, and
water dispensers. There was no shortage of food or water or nesting material.
There were no predators. The only adversity was the limit on space.
Initially the population grew rapidly, doubling every 55 days. The
population reached 620 by day 315, after which the population growth dropped
markedly. The last surviving birth was on day 600. This period between day 315
and day 600 saw a breakdown in social structure and in normal social behavior.
Among the aberrations in behavior were the following: expulsion of young before
weaning was complete, wounding of young, inability of dominant males to maintain
the defense of their territory and females, aggressive behavior of females,
passivity of non-dominant males with increased attacks on each other which were
not defended against. After day 600 the social breakdown continued and the
population declined toward extinction. During this period females ceased to
reproduce. Their male counterparts withdrew completely, never engaging in
courtship or fighting. They ate, drank, slept, and groomed themselves – all
solitary pursuits. Sleek, healthy coats and an absence of scars characterized
these males. They were dubbed “the beautiful ones”.
The conclusions drawn from this experiment were that when all available
space is taken and all social roles filled, competition and the stresses
experienced by the individuals will result in a total breakdown in complex
social behaviors, ultimately resulting in the demise of the
population.
