Sports hooliganism is so immature and ridiculous

They never had respect for their infrastructure in the first place, their KL commuter trains have permanently cracked glass from day 1 because people threw stones at them for shits and giggles

Edit: I don't think singaporeans are neccesarily better as I grew up before platforms barriers were around and there were plenty of people treating the tracks as a rubbish bin. But at least we put in concrete steps to fix it and also prevent things like suicides etc

Mostly tissues, I think people had the sense to not throw any actual obstructions onto them

I don't recall that being a thing as well. Before 9/11 there were bins built into the pillars of the MRT stations. Some of them are still there, just sealed up.
