A warded patient in Singapore expresses frustration and anger towards people using their phones loudly in hospitals, suggesting that they should be fined. The patient highlights the lack of consideration for sick, tired, and worried patients.

SINGAPORE: Over the weekend, a warded patient shared their sentiments on people using their phones loudly. He went so far as to say that they should be given a heavy fine.

“But no, I share the ward with other patients and unfortunately, one of them is an uncle who watches videos with loudspeakers on, like the kind usually encountered in buses and trains.” Throwing litter when there are so many bins around? Need fines. Cleaning tables after eating? Need fines. The list goes on, unnecessary laws where basic good manners and etiquette should have been enough.”“Should it be the same for people using their phones loudly in buses, trains? Perhaps fines will not totally stop them but at least will make them think twice.
