A local woman has successfully established a private VIP lounge in the middle of a crowded Circle Line carriage using nothing but a plastic stool and pure, unadulterated audacity.

Eyewitnesses reported feeling a mixture of murderous rage and intense envy as the woman bypassed the Hunger Games-style scramble for priority seats.

"I was absolutely appalled that someone would find a solution to their own comfort instead of suffering in silence like a true Singaporean," said one Stomper who spent the entire journey filming the woman’s ankles for the internet.

The witness expressed deep concern that the 20cm stool posed a lethal threat to the lives of eighty able-bodied adults who might suddenly lose the ability to use their eyes.

SMRT officials are reportedly looking into the incident to see if they can charge her an additional 'Facility Usage Fee' for occupying a second level of vertical air space.

Security experts warned that if more commuters followed suit, the train could eventually resemble a chaotic camping trip at East Coast Park but with even less ventilation.

LTA is expected to release a new 400-page guidebook clarifying that while stools are legal, having a backbone is strictly prohibited during peak hours.
