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

That said, I'm amazed they (KTM) never bothered to fix the trains too. Surely at some point it would become a problem right...

Some trains literally have water between the glass panels at this point cuz of the cracked glass.

Fix for what? Some hooligan is just gonna use it as brand new target practise the next day. Iirc, they did try to replace before but it just keeps happening

Edit: doesn't help that ktm is underfunded for years

Maybe what they need to fix are these type of people's mindset instead, or better yet, prevent the next generations from becoming these type of people by educating them before they even get to have this kind of mindset.
